Yes, that's it. When I schedule them on the frontend on the master
machine, they work, but if I try it on a slave machine they don't get
into the queue. Strange - the slave machine is storing them somewhere,
because if I go back into the popup later, it shows that the job is
scheduled (it says "stop transcode" instead of "begin transcode") - not
sure where this is stored. This slave works great otherwise, so I know
the database setup is ok.
