Randy,

If you are using the original release of mythepisode I would recommend
updating to the latest version.  There have been a number of changes
one of which was a problem with the tvwish implementation.  You can
find the newest version at

http://code.google.com/p/mythepisode/

The files should be owned by the user that your web server runs as.
Mine are all owned by www-data and have a group of www-data.  The
tvwish master file for mythepisode is in the data directory where you
keep data files.  For me it is /var/lib/mythtv/episode/tvwish.  The
file is called master.  You will have an entry in the bottom of the
file for each entry.  If you run the same command string that is in
your crontab you should see errors if there are problems with paths.
I believe I setup some of those paths in handler.php for tvwish that
you may need to change.  handler.php is a file under the mythepisode
directory.  Let me know if you need any additional help.

Thanks,

Chad
