It looks like the script failed to get the proper temp work directory
setting from the database.
It looks like you have it set to '/video/temp-archive/' and the frontend
has picked that up no problem since the passed job file is where I would
expect it to be 'passed job file: /video/temp-archive/config/mydata.xml'
but the 'temppath: work' and 'logpath: log' picked up by the script
aren't correct they are missing the '/video/temp-archive/' part?
There's a number of reason why this might be failing. Is this a combined
frontend/backend machine? While it is possible to get MythArchive to
work on remote frontends it needs things to be setup properly before it
will work.
