now thats a very intresting point.. i believe it is in my path because i 
can issue the command without telling bash where it is.. but that brings 
up the question does myth use this command rather then doing something 
directly with iviv? and does it expect it in a particular place? i'll 
try the remote login and change my debug level..

thx for the help.. i really appreciate it
