Hi Ian. As far as I understand - problem part is timestamp(14) which is ok for mysql 5.1 and produces error in mysql 5.5 But it means you run mysql_upgrade from mysql 5.1 agains mysql 5.5 (despite the fact you should run mysql_upgrade from mysql 5.5). Could you please double check if you run correct mysql_upgrade?

Hi Alexey, You are correct. The mysql_upgrade from 5.1 was still being picked up as it was found first in my path. Running the mysql_upgrade from 5.5, all completed correctly.

Description: Running mysql_upgrade fails with SQL errors when fixing the privilege tables. Running 'mysql_fix_privilege_tables'...
