[mythtv-users] Lost mythweb preview images (svn version)

About a month ago, I stopped getting new preview images for the "recorded 
programs' page in mythweb.

I cleared out the mythweb/data/cache directory, but all that accomplished was 
to wipe out the previously existing ones.  When they regenerate, they all 
have zero bytes.

I saw some mention of uPNP handling such preview images, but my backend's IP 
address isn't 127.0.0.1 and the patch suggested didn't help.

In my backend log, I get a pile of errors like:
...
2007-12-21 09:12:08.340 MainServer: Failed to make preview image.
2007-12-21 09:12:08.345 Preview Error: Run() file not 
local: '/mnt/store/1008_20070406030000.nuv'
2007-12-21 09:12:08.346 MainServer: Failed to make preview image.
2007-12-21 09:17:07.843 Preview Error: Run() file not 
local: '/mnt/store/2058_20071221083000.nuv'


Any idea what is going on?  
What does "not local" mean?  On my backend, /mnt/store is a softlink to a 
directory on an LVM volume.  For everything else, storage in this directory 
works fine.  The directory is group/world readable, and owned by root.  Root 
runs mythbackend.  User 'apache' runs mythweb.
