I've done some further digging. First, I had an error in my script. 
Apparently mythcommflag's return value is the number of commercials
detected, which I feel is the wrong the wrong thing to do, but 
whatever, now that I know that I can deal with it.

(Apparently my first two test videos had the same number of commercials,
which is why I didn't notice this problem yesterday. :) Murphy's law
is alive and well, and living in my house.)

Once I fixed that and my Commercial Removal job started returning
0 for success, /var/log/mythtv stopped showing a Commercial 
Flagging job starting after the Commercial Removal job finished.

One last minor thing though, MythWeb still shows a commercial flag 
job being run. It doesn't seem to actually be running a second job, 
but is the commercial flagging I'm running as part of this script 
somehow adding a job entry wherever MythWeb is looking to see what
jobs have run?
