After fixing the ownership and putting the files where they belong, I'm now getting "XMLTV grabber returned error code 13"

A google search leads me here: https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?t=129

I'll have to watch the results for a few days to be able to tell if my schedule is being updated. It says I have 15 days at the
