I figured out what was happening. I had a suspicion that the 
MythTV<->MySQL communication was somehow not happening. I recompiled QT 
with the MySQL 5.0.18 headers and everything seems to work fine now.

When I originally compiled QT, I was using an older version of MySQL, so 
maybe the newer DB with older headers is not compatible. Not sure. 
Something else may have occurred.

Thanks for the help though.
