Easy enough to handle with a wrapper script:

#!/bin/bash

VID=.nospacevideo-$$.mpg

function cleanup {
     rm -f $VID
}
trap cleanup EXIT

ln "$1" $VID
mythstreamtv.sh $VID

add directory names wherever appropriate.

Can't help with the memory corruption but I'm glad you started this  
thread. I often travel and thought the only way to watch my programs  
was off-hours rsyncing.
