The one that mythfilldatabase is trying to load,
which is (typically) generated by your grabber,
unless an error occurs.

There are many possible reasons for a grabber
to fail (the most common are a filesystem (/tmp)
being out of space, and that one is running it
by a userid (i.e. the backend user) who does not
have permissions on the file(s) that were created
by the userid one used (i.e. not the same userid
as the backend userid) to configure the grabber
initially).

To obtain additional information from the grabber
itself, one can add in the flags "--verbose general,xmltv"
to the invocation of mythfilldatabase and mythtv
will log the grabbers output (if any) that may
provide additional guidance.
