[mythtv-users] Problem running pdatranscode

[malcolm torrent]

Dear All,
I'm trying to run the pdatranscode script from Jeff Volckaert [search
for pdatranscode].

I get the following error in mythweb status page:

ERROR: Unable to find executable, check backend logs.

The /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log shows:

2006-11-11 13:59:11.103 JobQueue: Started "PDA Transcode" for
"Partypoker.com Late Night Poker Masters" recorded from channel 3008

Poker Masters" 20061111011500' failed, unable to find executable,
check your PATH and backend logs.

I thought the problem was access rights to the /usr/local/ and moved
the file and reference to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/ but still no joy.
However, the log seems to imply that the file is accessed and the
error is at line 1.
now i'm sure i'm missing something obvious but an stuck, any tips?
