Eric and Jack,

Try running this as your cron command:
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/mirobridge.py -V  >> 
"/tmp/mirobridge.log 2>&1

The other "env `dbus-launch` sh -c 'trap "kill $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID" 
EXIT ..." commands were added as some users had issues. Mythbuntu has 
the extra statements added as up to now they have not caused any issues. 
Again some installs require the extra dbus related commands and some do 
not. Maybe you will be among those that do not need the extra dbus 
statements.

See this link for the issue that the dbus statements are addressing:
