I just had some recordings fail because my channel change script returned
an error. They showed up in Myth as grayed out with 0 bytes, so it was
obvious they had failed. It tripped me up, actually, because the channel
change script failure was only logged as an info status under the channel
logging group, so I didn't see the error in the log. I submitted a patch to
change a failure to be logged as an error under general (so it will be seen
with the default logging options) and it's been incorporated into master.

So, in your case, if the channel change script can detect the failure and
propagate that as a nonzero script exit code, it should be picked up by
Myth.
