Did you put script in the crontab file or an entry to run the script?  It 
should be the latter.

It might be named something else.  Look for any file in that directory that 
runs mythfilldatabase.  That is the one you want to change/replace

Since the files in cron.daily are run as root and you probably need to run the 
commands as mythtv (or whatever).  You should probably just have a script
in cron.daily like

	#!/bin/sh
	##su mythtv -c "mythfilldatabase --quiet"
	su mythtv -c "/usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabasecron_dd"

Then put that script previously posted in  
/usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabasecron_dd.  Make sure both are executable.
