What are the versions of MythTV, XMLTV and the perl
modules (XML::Writer and the others) that MythTV
needs?  Make sure XMLTV in particular is up to the
latest stable (0.5.14, or something like that). 
That's one place to start.  

Also, I'm not sure why it's looking for
/root/.mythtv/Cox.xmltv, mine reads
/root/.mythtv/tv.xmltv.  You can check to make sure
that file is there and is readable:

# ls -l /root/.mythtv/Cox.xmltv).

hope that helps.
