Default behaviour is to download channel icons. For some reason,  
mythupchuk's default icon location is set to /mythtv/channels, which isn't  
valid.

You can simply turn that off by using --nogeticons. Or override it using  
"--icondir /home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels", which is the correct location  
since 0.27 and should already exist.

"mythupchuk -h" explains all these options.
