Don't tinker with recordmatch, the scheduler fills this based
on the record rules and listings so it's unnecessary and can hoze
things if it isn't an actual match. If you are doing an actual
"kManualSearch" then the scheduler should add the program entry
with a manualid.

No mystery here. it should say:

2005-09-11 14:53:16.361 Connecting to backend server: 192.168.0.35:6543 (try 1of 5)
2005-09-11 14:53:16.568 Connected to master for reschedule

Is the masterbackend running and is it finding the correct mysql.txt
file and are the parameters correct for the host where you ran 
mythbackend --resched ? Check to see if there is a mysql.txt in
the current directory or in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt for the user
that issued the command.
