Manually insert that nice status message into the database.  Make sure 
you update your numerical status as well, or the jobqueue will overwrite 
the message when it updates the number.

If you read python, take a look at mythvidexport.py; particularly the 
following lines.



self.job.setComment("%02d%% complete - %d seconds remaining" %\
     (dstfp.tell()*100/srcsize, remt))

except Exception, e:
     Job(int(args[0])).update({'status':Job.ERRORED,
                              'comment':'ERROR: '+e.args[0]})
