Jarod,

Thanks again for the reply... I actually pulled my head out... and
remembered that I was migrating a lot of filesystems from an earlier Gentoo
custom install... (media, home, yada yada)... well... I forgot to nuke
/home/mythtv before installing... so... everything was hosed since MythDora
setup wasn't able to create the home directory like it wanted... so... I
blew that directory away and began again.

I was able to import all of my recordings, media... it was beautiful... I'm
happy with it now.

Thanks.

Andy
