That's annoying. :)

Your database contains versions. Versions haven't been supported in Zope
(and thus Plone) in years as far as I know. ZODB 3.9 no-longer supports
versions. You can't use a database containing versions with ZODB 3.9
(and presumably Plone 4).

Have you tried packing your database?
