Drew,
Great catch! Thanks! I got all wrapped up in the later messages, I
totally missed that one. You were right on, the problem was that pmount
is:
mythtv at ubuntu:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/pmount
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root plugdev 29860 2006-08-30 08:46 /usr/bin/pmount
But, mythtv user was not in the plugdev group! So, I added mythtv to
plugdev, and, Voila! Problem solved!
Thanks again!
