Perhaps it's something with your cron event?  If you can run it from the 
console, but the scheduled task is failing, then maybe you are either 
running it with the wrong user permissions, or something else is wrong.

Here's my crontab line for it:

12 4 * * *     /usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabase

Notice the full path... also this is in the same user's crontab as the 
one the frontend runs as, but I don't know if this affects things 
somehow or not.  I would think you could run it as root as well, but 
xmltv settings are stored in ~/.mythtv/[something].xmltv so if it's not 
running as the same user as you do from the console, this might be it.
