I had a similar problem and below is the help I received. I modified it
to suit my set up and worked for me.

"I assume you are running mytharchive. If it gets stuck there is a lck
file that needs to be deleted otherwise mytharchive thinks it is
running. On my system this is /tmp/logs/mythburn.lck but this could be
very different on yours. My mytharchive work, logs and config folder are
all in /tmp so I assume if you spot one of these you will find the
rest."

Best of lick
