Like you I am running .24 in  Ubuntu which I installed as mythbuntu and it
(I think) includes JAMU.  I have a lot of my recordings set to transcode
and hence those recordings get a new extension. I have a lot of orphaned
snapshots everything I run mythlink. They all appear to be snapshots
retrieved before or during transcoding.  I assumed that was just a timing
issue and nothing really fixable.

Is this what you are experiencing?
I'm not sure about the permissions. Mine has mythtv as the owner and group.
