OK. I changed the UserJob1 to "/usr/local/bin/silence.py %JOBID% --loglevel debug --syslog local7 --presetfile ~/.mythtv/silence.preset"
"--syslog local7" is needed to get any output in /var/log/mythtv/mythcommflag.log
"--presetfile ~/.mythtv/silence.preset" is needed because the command line for UserJob1 is used for every recording.
When testing I could ommit them and perhaps get some output directly from the terminal. I will try that.
