Comment(by michael bishop <clever at nbnet.nb.ca>):

 ive tracked the problem down some

 when the mbe trys to generate a preview for an image on a slave backend it
 calls PreviewGenerator::GetScreenGrab

 which then calls NuppelVideoPlayer

 which marks the file as inuse using ProgramInfo::MarkAsInUse

 which uses RemoteCheckFile to check on the file status

 which uses MythContext::SendReceiveStringList to query the mbe for some
 info

 MythContext::SendReceiveStringList seems to allways open a socket to the
 master backend, even if this is the master backend

 not shure how to fix it but i think RemoteCheckFile needs to be modified
 so if its on the mbe it will just check the local data instead of
 connecting to itself and causing  the feedback
