Not sure why django South is trying to run reverse migration

When I run python manage.py migrate api it fails with "RuntimeError: Cannot reverse this migration."

The problem is, I'm not sure why it would even be trying to run a reverse migration? The file its failing on is 0025, which isn't mentioned in the south_migrationhistory table in the MySQL database.

Any ideas why South would be trying to run a reverse migration with this command?

Thanks!

EDIT:

The full stack trace is:

It has encountered a migration error, and tries to rollback it. You can clean up backwards migration temporarily and look what is the real error.
