I need to rethink what returns tuples and lists in the bindings.  The 
search functions should probably be changed to return a list, however 
stuff like 'VideoGrabber.getData' makes more sense to leave a tuple, 
since there is a known number of results it will return.  I see a 
problem with this in the file transfer code, which I've never noticed 
before since I've not tried writing to a SG in which I have multiple 
directories listed.

 >>> grab = VideoGrabber('TV')
 >>> grab.searchEpisode('Alvin & the Chipmunks','The Chipettes')
(1, 1)

Works for me.
