I've gotten a little farther.  By poking through mythtranscode's source
for a second, I saw that I could specify "mythtranscode -v all".
Running the mythtranscode line again, I got the following error message:
"Attempted to transcode myth://:/1013_20050123172800_20050123175800.nuv.
Mythtranscode is currently unable to transcode remote files."

I take it that it's confused about which machine the files are in and
that I'll have to fix some entries in the mythconverg database
somewhere.  Which settings would those be?
