[mythtv-users] Problem with nuvexport and mythtranscode

I just did a fresh reload of my MythTV box (been running 0.16 for quite
some time but wanted to move to 0.18.1 with a fresh reinstall) following
the "Fedora Myth(TV)ology" guide.

I got the box fully operational and recording shows off the DirecTV box
so I went and downloaded/installed the newest version of nuvexport from
forevermore.net. I export to XVid so I downloaded the current CVS of
ffmpeg and compiled with "./configure --enable-mp3lame --enable-libogg
--enable-vorbis --enable-xvid --enable-gpl" and got a successful install
(after installing libs of course).

When I launch nuvexport and attempt to encode a video to XVid I get the
following message:
_______________________________________________________

Waited too long for mythtranscode to create its fifos.  Please try again.

Has anyone seen this before?

PS
I'm pretty sure ffmpeg is correctly setup because I can run this command:
ffmpeg -i /video/recordings/1354_20050520160000_20050520180000.nuv
-vcodec mpeg4 -vtag xvid -b 1200 -r 29.97 -s 624x464 -deinterlace -ar
44100 -acodec mp3 -ab 128 test3.avi
And get a test3.avi file to come out just fine.

Thanks in advance for any help!
