You need to provide the -f parameter, as in your second post, but you also need the -U as well, which you were missing.

thanks, will try it today after working hours.
btw, any thoughts why first method (as in the documentation - http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/admin/installation/upgrading) fails ?

The first method only fetches the last stable release, not betas.
