Could be many things (exit code 1 is the generic
"something bad happened, look at the messages"
return).

If you are running the latest fixes/31, try adding in
the xmltv flag to the verbose logging command
(typically something like "--verbose general,xmltv")
to see any (possibly) relevant messages from the
grabber in the logs.

As an aside, I would generally recommend adding
in the xmltv verbosity in most cases such that any
interesting messages get logged in the future
when (not if) something else goes wrong, and for
most grabbers the number of additional lines
logged is modest.

And you can try running the grabber manually
(under your myth userid) outside of mythfilldatabase
to see the messages (typically add in something
like "--days 1 --output /dev/null" so you just see
any error messages and the grabber does minimal
work).
