I've tried the workaround suggested above, but I don't see any log info indicating that mythfilldatabase is being run.  Which log should I be looking at?  There is a mythfilldatabase.log but it hasn't been updated since December, so I'm wondering whether that log file is a leftover from a previous version of MythTV.  I grepped /var/log/mythtv/* and didn't find any recent mentions of mythfilldatabase.
