Look like you're using my modified version (with the retries argument)
of find_meta.py ; you need to use the modified imdbpy.py too that
supports multiple retry should imdb failed to respond on time.

Latest release of those patches relies on patch
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6245

The original patch can be found here:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/6219/imdb_script5.patch

Or use my mythtv packages for ubuntu, it's all done for you.
