running unit tests with legacy database: Error 1050, Table already exists

Hello,
I'm relatively new to Django, so it might well be a silly question...
I'm using Django-1.7 with Python-3.3.
I'm working with a legacy MySQL database. I tried both pymysql and mysql-connector-python, the errors are similar.

When I run the unit tests, for instance, with mysql-connector-python, I get

python manage.py test jobwatcher
...
mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: 1050 (42S01): Table 'auth_group' already exists

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
...
  File "/test/virtualenv/lib/python3.3/site-packages/mysql/connector/connection.py", line 638, in _handle_result
    raise errors.get_exception(packet)
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: Table 'auth_group' already exists

I read that one has to use the inspectdb command to generate the models when working with legacy databases, so I did; and I also set the "managed" variale to False in the meta thing. For instance:

class JobMon(models.Model):
    id = models.BigIntegerField(primary_key=True)
    job_db_inx = models.IntegerField()
    value_avg = models.BigIntegerField()
    value_sum = models.BigIntegerField()
    mon_type = models.IntegerField()
    timestamp = models.IntegerField()
    is_valid = models.IntegerField()
    is_full = models.IntegerField()
    nodes_nr = models.IntegerField()

    class Meta:
        managed = False
        db_table = 'job_mon'

I tried different things, but I'm just shooting in the dark right now.

Can anyone give me a hint of whats going on and/or how to solve this problem?

TIA,

David
