I have the latest mythtv (mythbackend version: fixes/0.25
[v0.25.2-8-g3256849]) on mythbuntu 12.04.  I'm getting the following error
in my mythbackend.log

Jul 27 17:22:11 mythbox mythbackend[8561]: W CoreContext dvbchannel.cpp:227

Seems like I have a permissions problem, but I'm not sure were to look.
Any ideas?
