I noticed the two commits relating to the python bindings so I thought
I would experiment with mythvidexport again.  I seem to be getting
more or less the same error when running it manually.  However when I
run it as a user job then it works(though I've not manged to get
recordings to delete.

I suppose my questions are:

Am I trying to use this from the command line correctly? And if so
what else could be wrong?
and
Where does log output from this end up? Or how do i specify that
location? SO I can try and debug why my recordings don't get deleted
when using that option.

Thanks

Stephen
