Looks like the new timezone settings check it angry when using an OS X  
Frontend against a Linux backend.
I downloaded the frontend version from thesniderpad that matches my  
newly self-compiled compiled mythbackend:
bderman at mythtv:~$ mythbackend --version
Please include all output in bug reports.
MythTV Version   : 19089
MythTV Branch    : trunk
Library API      : 0.22.20081110-1
Network Protocol : 42
QT Version       : 4.3.4
Options compiled in:
  linux release using_oss using_alsa using_arts using_backend  
using_dvb using_frontend using_hdhomerun using_hdpvr using_iptv  
using_ivtv using_joystick_menu using_lirc using_mheg  
using_opengl_video using_opengl_vsync using_v4l using_x11 using_xrandr  
using_xv using_xvmc using_xvmc_vld using_xvmcw using_bindings_perl  
using_bindings_python using_opengl using_ffmpeg_threads using_live  
using_mheg


And I get this in the frontend:
2008-11-15 15:19:20.543 Connecting to backend server:  
192.168.1.101:6543 (try 1 of 5)

2008-11-15 15:19:20.556 The time and/or time zone settings on this  
system do not match those in use on the master backend. Please ensure  
all frontend and backend systems are configured to use the same time  
zone and have the current time properly set.
2008-11-15 15:19:20.556 Unable to run with invalid time settings.  
Exiting.


Any ideas how to get around this? I think Mr. Dean is working on this  
- do you want a bug filed?

Thanks,
