Ok. I was finally able to get a little more info. I will continue digging,
but here is what I have.  My user job 3 looks like this normally:

/usr/local/bin/ipodexport.pl exportdir=/var/lib/mythtv/export
starttime=%STARTTIME% chanid=%CHANID% size=720x480 aspect=16:9
acodec=libaacplus

right now I have it set to look like this:

/usr/local/bin/ipod.sh exportdir=/var/lib/mythtv/export
starttime=%STARTTIME% chanid=%CHANID% size=720x480 aspect=16:9
acodec=libaacplus

the ipod.sh script looks like this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

echo "Environment variables:" > /tmp/export.log
export >> /tmp/export.log
echo "Exit status before export command $?" >> /tmp/export.log
echo "/usr/local/bin/ipodexport.pl $*" >> /tmp/export.log
/usr/local/bin/ipodexport.pl $*

ret=$?

echo "exit status after attempted export $ret" >> /tmp/export.log

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The export log contains the following.
---------------------------------------------------------
Environment variables:
declare -x AVAHI_COMPAT_NOWARN="1"
declare -x BOOT_IMAGE="MythTV"
declare -x CONSOLE="/dev/console"
declare -x HOME="/etc/mythtv"
declare -x INIT_VERSION="sysvinit-2.86"
declare -x MYTHCONFDIR="/etc/mythtv"
declare -x OLDPWD
declare -x PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"
declare -x PREVLEVEL="N"
declare -x PWD="/"
declare -x RUNLEVEL="4"
declare -x SHLVL="4"
declare -x TERM="linux"
declare -x prevlevel="N"
declare -x runlevel="4"
Exit status before export command 0
/usr/local/bin/ipodexport.pl exportdir=/var/lib/mythtv/export
starttime=20120811183000 chanid=13888 size=720x480 aspect=
16:9
exit status after attempted export 255

---------------------------------------------------------



Now if i take the command line
"/usr/local/bin/ipodexport.plexportdir=/var/lib/mythtv/export
starttime=20120811183000 chanid=13888
size=720x480 aspect=16:9 acodec=libaacplus" and run it manually it works
fine.


I realize exit status 255 is special, but the point is the same. My
original job 3 fails, but if I use the same options and run it from the
command line it works fine. I am not sure how to see what error code the
myth job queue is giving. It never appears in my logs.
