Underpowered for just getting "metadata"? This isn't going to be running 
MythFrontend or transcoding. All userjobs except the one for metadata 
collection would be disabled for this host.  Also mythutil can used to 
"SCHEDULE", but that's not what I'm talking about. I just want the 
automatic metadata grabs that are scheduled as part of a recording to 
get done by the slave-backend.
