Of course, having a non-root user trying to access a user directory
that's not your own is going to cause problems as well.  Why are you
running as mythtv, but putting the ringbuffer into /home/jeff?  Don't
do that.  Put it somewhere accessible to all users, especially if
you're running as a daemon.
