This is the problem, you don't have appear to have created the
directory /tmp/freevo.

Its been a long time since I looked at the hdhomerun utilities, but you
want to use what ever the utilities want as their input.

I'm afraid I don't have any experience with the hdhomerun plugin so
can't help here but that's quite an old release. I'd suggest grabbing
something more recent, either 1.9.0 or if you're comfortable with it
check out the Freevo-rel-1.9 branch from SVN. It has a lot of bug fixes
from 1.9.0 and is heading towards another beta release so should be
reasonably stable. See http://freevo.sourceforge.net/download/freevo.php
download details for both.

Check out the troubleshooting page, it should get you going in the right
direction, http://doc.freevo.org/TroubleShooting. You might also find
the developers checking the devel list a bit more often so if it's a bug
or patch you might be better off using that list.
