I remember a specific case with mythfilldatabase (usually caused
by running mythfilldatabase under different userids at some point
in the testing cycle, but could possibly be others) where one
will get old data due to not cleaning up a specific temp file
(fundamentally a permissions issue).  The easiest temporary
solution is, as Mike says, just remove the files in /tmp, although
most would agree that that is really just a bypass, and not a fix.
There is a pending patch in trac (12253) to (attempt) to resolve
the specific issue for the identified case.  You might want to
apply it (and its pre-req) and see if it resolves your issues.
Remember to bump the api in your test builds (as specified
in the ticket).
