Hi,

I'm running 0.25 - fixes from mythbuntu and I have set up the following
userjob:

/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythvidexport.py --seekdata
--skiplist --cutlist  --safe --delete
--logfile=/home/jeremy/mythvidexport.log %JOBID%

I have tried executing the job from the watch recordings screen, but it
fails.  Checking the logfile, I find nothing.  It doesn't even touch it.
 Checking the mythbackend log file I see the following:
Oct 22 23:00:35 mythbox2011-03-25 mythbackend[12305]: I UserJob_15309
jobqueue.cpp:2404 (DoUserJobThread) JobQueue: Started Move Recording to
Videos for "Justice League Unlimited":"The Return" recorded from channel
1171 at 2012-10-13T08:00:00
Oct 22 23:00:35 mythbox2011-03-25 mythbackend[12305]: E UserJob_15309
jobqueue.cpp:2439 (DoUserJobThread) JobQueue: User Job '
 /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythvidexport.py
--seekdata --skiplist --cutlist  --safe --delete
--logfile=/home/jeremy/mythvidexport.log 15309' failed.

Executing the same command in a terminal window, reusing the jobid from the
log, the export works just fine.

Is there something wrong with my userjob syntax?  Do I need to check file
permissions?

Any help appreciated.

Jeremy
