I really need a backtrace, or at least some kind of logging, to have an idea why it might have failed.  If you're using the "%VERBOSEMODE%" flag, the job queue will pass in the necessary variables to have the script log where the rest of MythTV logs.  Otherwise, you may need to run the command manually from the terminal.

One thing that does stand out, are you just running the script with the absolute file name of the recording?
