Bill,
Do you have a customization (i.e class files, and etc) to support this database change? if yuo do, then you will need to deploy those so that the UM can continue. A counterpart of mine in another deer unit had a similar issue with upgrademanager where his unit increased the size of a column in a database, he had to deploy the accompanying customizations to the system and the upgrademanager was happy after that. I am not sure you can ask the UM to skip that upgrade schema as there are schema changes between 8 and 9.1 and this is a required step in the upgrade process. So if you have the class files or whatever that supports that increase, I would suggest you deploy those and rerun the UM.
HTH,
