pg_upgrade not transferring data to the new cluster

Vote count: 0

I was recently updating my postgres from 9.5 to 9.6.2 (installed with home-brew, though the old binaries were downloaded from postgresql directly), and I encountered a strange problem. I have been following this guide, and everything went okay. I had to modify some commands as my encoding info was strange, but everything worked (modified commands listed below.)

initdb --local=C /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8 --lc-ctype=en_US.UTF-8
pg_upgrade -d /usr/local/var/postgres96 -D /usr/local/var/postgres -b /Users/MyUser/Downloads/pgsql/bin/ -B /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.6.2/bin/

Note: I moved the old data cluster to posgres96 before beginning the process.

However, none of the data transferred over. I ran du -sh /usr/local/var/*/, and all of my data is still in postgres96, but none transferred over to the new cluster.

4.0K    /usr/local/var/db/
 80K    /usr/local/var/homebrew/
 48K    /usr/local/var/log/
141M    /usr/local/var/postgres/
386M    /usr/local/var/postgres96/
  0B    /usr/local/var/run/

I re-ran everything, and noticed in the output of pg_upgrade there was a weird anomaly.

If pg_upgrade fails after this point, you must re-initdb the
new cluster before continuing.

Upgrade Complete

It seems like the database schemas never got dumped? Regardless, all of my data is trapped in postgres96, and I can't get it out. Any help or insight would be appreciated.
