it probably includes http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/20023 (see
20021 for the full description).
That change is necessary otherwise the backend would shutdown even if
the wake up time couldn't be set.

if the script exits normally without exit(1), die, ... the exit code
should be 0. You chan check with 'echo $?' directly after running your
script at the command line.

0 for success
