[mythtv-users] Problem scheduling recordings

Hi, I'm using MythTV 0.19 (I'm very impressed by the improvements from
0.18!) and I have the following problem scheduling recordings. When I
press the record button on my remote, or set a recording option for a
show in the program guide, no recording icon appears for the show and
the recording status displayed at the top right doesn't change. Checking
the recording options for that show also indicates no change to the
recording status. However if I stop and restart the front and back ends,
the changed status then appears in the guide. Stopping and restarting
the frontend only is not enough for the changed recording status to
appear. Both the front and back ends are running on the same host.

I've also just noticed that the time displayed by mythwelcome is +2
hours with respect to the system time. The system time and timezone is
set correctly. How can mythwelcome possibly show a different time from
"date"? Perhaps this is related to my scheduled recording problem? But 
this could be a red herring.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this recording problem, or how I could
further diagnose the problem? Running the front and back ends with "-v 
all" hasn't shown any obvious cause.

Thanks and regards,
Leighton
