	After several more hours of debugging, I found that the call to 
SourceManager::recurseDirs() was finding the directories but failed to find 
any executable scripts. The install had set all of the perl scripts in  
the /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythweather/mythweather/scripts directories to be 
own by root and only executable by root. Doing a chmod a+x on those scripts 
fixed the problem.

	I didn't catch this earlier since I had test run the scripts as root, but 
mythfrontend runs as a less privileged user.

Thanks to everyone that helped.
