Hey! That worked! (...well, I was able to get farther, anyway.)

It didn't. (Said no more queue slots, but whatever.) I changed the command
line to:
mythtranscode --chanid 1051 --starttime 20080808184500 --profile
autodetect --honorcutlist --showprogress -v important
And now it pukes identically to jobs fired off from the UI:
2009-01-21 04:34:14.923 Using runtime prefix = /usr
2009-01-21 04:34:14.923 Empty LocalHostName.

2009-01-21 04:34:14.951 Found video height of 1088. This is unusual and
more than likely the video is actually 1080 so mythtranscode will treat it
as such.
2009-01-21 04:34:14.951 Transcode: Looking for autodetect profile:
Autodetect from 1080i

2009-01-21 04:34:14.958 Transcode: Using autodetect profile: RTjpeg/MPEG4
2009-01-21 04:34:14.958 No video information found!
2009-01-21 04:34:14.958 Please ensure that recording profiles for the
transcoder are set
Since it seemed to be complaining about a profile, just for giggles I hit
mythtranscode with "--profile 1" (whatever THAT profile is) but that didn't
change the symptoms. (Still complains about no video information found.)
Thanks so far... Any more ideas? I tried -v all, but all that gave me was
more information about the database calls instead of the video problem.
(...so I'm not bothering to echo that output here.)
