So, until the patch is applied, either specify a filename (with 
--filename, 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Database_Backup_and_Restore#Full_restore_of_a_specific_backup_file 
) or apply the patch yourself (which, really, you've done with the above 
change you made).

Thanks, though, for asking here, first, rather than just opening a new 
ticket (which would have been a duplicate).  Feedback on the scripts is 
appreciated.
