OK, thanks. For some reason the mythtv-backend package from
debian-multimedia doesn't unpack the mirobridge files correctly, or at
least not the way I'd expect it to. It puts gzipped versions in
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/imports. So even though I had
upgraded Myth to 0.24, I was still using the old mirobridge files from
0.23. Once I manually copied the mirobridge files to
/usr/share/mythtv/imports and gunzipped them, it's working again. I
vaguely remember having to do the same thing back when I set up
mirobridge the first time in 0.23.

Does anyone know why the debian-multimedia package would be set up
that way? Is there a better method for me to update mirobridge along
with Myth besides remembering to manually coped and gunzip the files?
