Try: silence.py --chanid 9931 --starttime 20140503221800 --loglevel debug

The file timestamp is UTC but the python bindings use BST so you were an
hour out.
There are some notes on the wiki at

Note this only explains the command line failure. Your job should be using
%JOBID% and won't be affected by UTC issues.
