After being gone for over a week, I came back and decided to update to the latest svn version. I did a fresh "check out" just to make sure I did not end up with any configuration conflicts.
Everything compiled fine, and mythbackend started up just fine. However, when it went to record a show, no file was created. The backend log shows no errors, and indicates that it started the record process just fine: 2005-10-10 19:12:41.886 Using runtime prefix = /usr/local 2005-10-10 19:12:41.914 New DB connection, total:

was wrong, when I did not hear any disk activity. I checked the directory where shows are supposed to be saved, and a new file had not been created. I had been using svn 7267. When I went back to that version, all was well again. It has been long enough since I updated, that I am wondering if there is a "step" I need to do before the latest version will work properly?
