Thank you John! That same problem was making me mad too.

And while we are there, just what does the 'subversion module' do? Is it 
  (as a daemon) a necessary component of being able to run svn from the 
command line (or is it a nascent capability if/when I want to write some 
code and keep track of revisions...)?

I'd like to turn off everything not absolutely necessary to running 
mythtv...Do I really need all the logs and the cron job log.rotates?
