Thanks for your help, Raymond. I'm running the script on the MB as the linux user that runs mythfrontend (the config.xml) is in my .mythtv folder. I don't know why it shows the backends as inaccessible, they are both active and accessible (I've got mythfrontend on pause atm)

After correcting the typo, the script ran and it found a loooot of discrepancies. I deleted successfully a lot of orphaned data and files, but later it crashes:

Could it be due to the Greek letters?

By the way, is there any way to pause or redirect the output to a file for reading? In my case there were so many missing entries I could't reach the top of the list :)

Yianni.
