[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase not running on its own

I'm running MythTV 0.19, installed via the KnoppMyth
R5C7 distribution.
For the last couple of weeks (since upgrading to R5C7
from R5B7), mythfilldatabase is not running
automatically. I can see the date/time that Zap2it has
recommended it will next auto-run via MythWeb, but
that time comes and goes and mythfilldatabase doesn't
run.
I can run it by hand as mythtv user with no problems.
Here are things I've tried:
* double-checked that the right mythfilldatabase path
is being used in the General setup screen (it is)
* changed the days between updates from 1 to 2
(although Zap2It labs usually returns a date/time that
is less than 2 days from the last run)
* created a "wrapper" script that sets the $HOME
environment variable and then runs mythfilldatabase,
and set that to run automatically instead of
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase. Again, I can run the
wrapper script by hand successfully, but setting
mythtv to do so results in the script not running
I've run out of ideas. Is there a table in mythconverg
I can check to see if something's not set right or not
updating properly? I'd prefer to have it run at the
Zap2It-prescribed times.
Thanks for the assistance.
