Update: after fiddling with things, the logs now show it (trying to) run
internally from myth. The end of the grabber run looks good to me, like
this:

However, mythtv info center reports the following:
"mythfilldatabase ran, but did not insert any new data into the database
for 2 of 2 sources. This can indicate a potential grabber failure."
It indicates there is 17 days of guide data. What does this mean?
