Thanks John, 

OK here is my problem straight form the log.  It looks like MythArchive does 
not like its working directory to be on a VFAT formatted drive.  I cannot 
burn a DVD because when I try, after transcoding, I get the following error:

There were even more CHMOD errors, but it would have been too long to post.  
Looks like basically it was trying to chmod all of the files on this 
partition.  I don't know why it would WANT to do this.

Does anyone know how to fix this aside form reformatting this partition to a 
linux/unix format?

Thanks,
