mythbackend thinks mythfilldatabase is still running (because one of the
mythfilldatabase processes did not complete).

Can you:

a) execute the SQL below, keeping the log output (called
mfdb-debug-log*.txt)

b) see if now--after your command-line run of mythfilldatabase--the
backend status says the next mfdb run is suggested for 2010-01-20 18:14

c) if so, restart your myth system (everything including mythbackend)

d) see if it runs again, tomorrow.

If not (for either of the above "if's"), please post the output of:

cat << "EOF" | mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg 2>&1 |\
tee mfdb-debug-log-`date +'%Y%m%d_%H%M%S'`.txt
SELECT * FROM housekeeping;
SELECT * FROM settings WHERE value LIKE 'mythfill%';
EOF

executed before and after the above.

Thanks,
Mike
