Bob, Ignore the PATH error, this is the only error that the myth backend
can and will report for any failure of a job script. (I just checked the
latest myth source and this situation has changed but I won't update the
script until majority are on 0.22)
You need to look in the mythnuv2mkv log file for the actual problem.
This is LOGBASEDIR/mythnuv2mkvPID.log where LOGBASEDIR is a variable in
the script, defaults to /var/tmp and PID is the Process ID of the
script. You can get the PID from the System Status Job Queue or Log
Entries screens as [PID]. However I find the easiest way is do a
"ls -lrt /var/tmp/mythnuv2mkv*log" and the most recent
mythnuv2mkv{PID}.log will be at the end. (ls -lrt is a long listing
ordered by reverse time).
