I added user mythtv to group jim, logged out and back in.  Running the
userjob from mythtfrontend (as mythtv) would still not use the working dir
in /home/jim/Videos.

However, when I switched the location of the working dir to
/home/mythtv/Videos it worked just like /tmp.  So I'll use that since it's
more permanent than /tmp.

Thanks,

Jim A
