[mythtv-users] mythfilldatgabase failure

[Greg Oliver]

chown -R mythtv:mythtv /home/mythtv

You can see the directories did not get changed because you were in the
directory of the user and it started with a ".", and with chown, files with
"." are not caught unless you begin them with period.

The "for sure" way to always catch everything is (although specifying the
path to chown will also work):

find /home/mythtv -type d -exec chown mythtv:mythtv {} \;
find /home/mythtv -type f -exec chown mythtv:mythtv {} \;
