Jim,
I had similar problems-- here's what happened for me:
1. I didn't read far enough down the page and see that there was a
revised procedure, the first one had some inaccuracies. Of course I
tried the inaccurate way, and had trouble. All of the XML was writing to
my screen instead of MySQL. 

2. I restored the databases to where they were to start with, started
over with the correct procedure, and then commented out the last line of
the script that deleted the file from /tmp and, viola, it worked when I
re-ran it.
   I'm not very worried about it not cleaning up after itself, for now,
because Issac says .15 will be out in a few days. My data was to run out
tonight at midnight, so I felt I needed to do something. I'll cleanup
/tmp after I have .15

Hope this helps,
HR

Issac, 
Thanks for a great piece of software. 
To the critics, I'd simply say, try setting up a PVR on Windows: 1.) It
will cost significantly more, and probably work less well and 2.) I
doubt the head programmer of Acme Conglomerated Software, Inc. would say
"Geeze, that's a great idea Mr. John Q. Public, why didn't we think of
that before??? I'll get right on an interim release right now!"
Sincerely,
HR
