I have noticed this happening lately as well. I thought it was related to
removing all my channel lineups and re-adding them. This was because it
mythfilldatabase would not add any new channels, no matter what command
line switches I tried. It was after this I found that the nightly job
wasn't adding any new data.  They may be related, they may not.

What in /tmp needs to be cleaned up. Just the XML file downloaded? Any
other files or does in there?
