My log file has always been sprinkled with these 2 Permission denied 
errors.

However this system has recorded gigabytes of programs while these 
errors continue to accumulate.

Not sure what they mean.

Yesterday I always had a couple of football games being recorded but it 
wasn't until 7PM with the start of 2 new recordings that I had a problem 
of nothing being written to a file.

The only thing new yesterday was frontend related. I just built a new 
x86_64 frontend with an Nvidia GT1030 gfx card on Archlinux KDE Plasma. 
When I built mythtv I only configured the frontend and it worked fine. 
However it was v0.31-118 and my backend is on Ubuntu is 
v0.31-202010122044. Both the most current v31 releases. I was using this 
frontend to view all recordings yesterday.

My backend was built about as standard as you could get from an Ubuntu 
point of view, nothing weird.

It's what I've done before and has been recording fine since July when I 
did the most recent complete rebuild. FWIW, I documented it here: 
https://mythtvinstall.blogspot.com/2020/07/combined-mythtv-v31-media-system-and.html

I checked this morning and all my recordings since the reboot around 
7:30pm last night have been fine.
