[mythtv-users] Something evil broke my D11 Channel Change Script

I've got another one of those, "Everything works great, then I
upgraded..." stories.
Last week it was lirc. Thist ime my D11 channel change script has
decided not to work any more.
Actually, it seems like my whole system is falling apart. I started
getting rather silent failed recordings. I look back in the logs and
all I see if that the recorder failed. I see that one of my recorders
is trying to change to some wacky channel numbers that don't exist.
So I dumped all my cards and added them all again (a PVR-350, HD-5500
in my master backend and a PVR-150 in my slave backend. The SD cards
are both connected to D11 DirecTV boxes and my HD is OTA.)
Now when I start up the backend I get failures on trying to tune both
D11 boxes. Here's what the script gives me:
[mythtv at mythtv ~]$ ls -l /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Jan 24 16:21 /dev/ttyS0
ok, so I'm the mythtv user who is also in the uucp group.
[mythtv at mythtv ~]$ d11channel.pl 2
Initializing Serial Port...
Error opening /dev/ttyS0!
ok, so let's try it as root:
[mythtv at mythtv ~]$ sudo d11channel.pl 2

Device/SerialPort.pm line 2020 during global destruction.
This is happening on both my master backend and my slave which I both
"successfully" updated. That'll teach me to keep up to date.
Any ideas?
