I checked my mythbackend.log, and got the following:
          "sh: /usr/local/bin/removecommercials: /bin/sh^M: bad 
interpreter: No such file or directory"

The file is there, and I double checked with Mythweb and it doesn't 
appear to be a typo or anything like that.  I checked via SSH and the 
file is there and the permissions are 755, so I don't think that's it..  
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Harry
