 Hi,

 I'm using the 0.20svn20070122ubuntu3 package from ubuntu of mytharchive.
 In my setup I've got a dedicated backend and a dedicated frontend.  Since
 my backend is under powered I wanted to run the archiving on the frontend.

 The python error is here.

 I'm guessing that either

 * mytharchive looks on the localhost for the mythtv database to grab the
 information about the recordings.  However the database is actually on the
 backend. In which case it should really connect to which ever backend is
 set in the frontends config files to grab the info.

 or

 * the backend database hasn't got permission/a hostname entry for
 mytharchive to dip into the database
