my BE is a stock Mythbuntu 10.04 running myth 0.23 with all the regular 
security updates applied.
Ever since I manually updated XMLTV (tv_grab_uk_rt version 1.313, 
2010/08/23 01:24:55) to fix an issue with the UK_RT grabber the 
automatic runs of mythfilldatabase fail. with error code 512.

Executing /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase manually at the command line works.

The mythfilldatbase command in the myth set-up is 
'/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase', which is  correct.

$ sudo locate tv_grab_uk_rt,  yields

/usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt/regional_channels_by_postcode
/usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt/utf8_fixups

which might mean i have two version installed, but the date time stamp 
on the 'tv_grab_uk_rt' directories indicate they were updated at the 
same time as the recent xmltv install, so i assumed they are the same 
and shouldn't be causing my problem.

Can anyone offer a clue to what I done to break this? Better still a 
clue on how to fix it!
