 My MythTV database password includes a # (thanks goodpassword.com!), and
 the mythconverg_backup script fails:

 {{{
 mysqldump exited with status: 2
 mysqldump output:
 mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost'
 (using password: YES) when trying to connect
 }}}

 I found that surrounding the password in the defaults file with quotes
 fixes this issue. I've attached a patch for mythconverg_backup.pl;
 presumably a similar issue/fix exists with the restore script, but I
 haven't had the chance to test it. The bug exists in the current trunk
 version of this script (which I downloaded per
 http://www.mythbuntu.org/Upgrading).
