myth.rebuilddatabase.pl has one major shortcoming. If you are not
actually rebuilding the database, it will enter information about the
file into the database as you answer the questions, but myth will later
report that the file does not exist, because the database reports the
file size as zero. I have just had that happen as I am building a new
BE/FE on new hardware.
I did an 'ls -al' to find the file size and then poked it into
mythconverg. But it really requires a file-handling subroutine to do
that. I was in a hurry.
