Comment (by J.Pilk@…):

 I have to admit that I can't now reproduce this.  I have scripts working
 that use mythcommflag with the $starttime argument like this:

 starttime=`echo "select starttime from recorded where basename=\"$1\";" |
 mysql -N -u mythtv  -p$PASSWD mythconverg `

 followed by

 echo "Running: ionice -c3 mythcommflag --rebuild --chanid "$chanid"
 --starttime "$starttime""[[BR]]
 ionice -c3 mythcommflag --rebuild --chanid "$chanid" --starttime
 "$starttime"

 which is the same form that I used with mythtranscode --mpeg2 --buildindex

 I do see a problem if I copy the command line echoed above and try to run
 that:[[BR]][[BR]]
 mythcommflag --rebuild --chanid 1052 --starttime 2012-04-12
 13:11:00[[BR]][[BR]]
 gives "Received '13:11:00' but unassociated arguments have not been
 enabled"[[BR]]
 and that can be avoided by putting quote marks around the starttime
 string.

 I'm also using this in (another) script: starttime=$(echo  ${starttime} |
 tr -d ': -') [[BR]]
 - and I should probably try to understand the python bindings instead :-)

 So:  it seemed to be a real problem but may not be any more. Thanks,
 anyway, and apologies if I screwed up.  See also[[BR]]
