[mythtv-users] myth_archive_job.pl fails as user job but works when run as mythtv user on CLI

Running 33.1 fixes

I'm running out of space until I get a new drive for the mythbox, so
mounted a windows share and set up a user job using the script at:

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth_archive_job.pl

I had used this in the past on another system and it worked. All it does is
move the recording file if there's enough space. I chose a recording and
selected the user job. It failed.

The backend log:
Nov  1 14:40:46 bhmf mythbackend: mythbackend[210595]: E UserJob_920
jobqueue.cpp:2468 (DoUserJobThread) JobQueue: User Job '/usr/bin/
myth_archive_job.pl -d /media/disk2/mythtv -f 15709_20231031235900.ts"'
failed.

When I ran /usr/bin/myth_archive_job.pl -d /media/disk2/mythtv -f
15709_20231031235900.ts from the command line as the mythtv user it worked.

Any idea why it would fail as a user job? How can I get some more info on
why it failed?

Thanks.
