The results I get for datadirect.webservices.zap2it.com are pretty 
much identical to those I saw when tracing to labs.zap2it.com:

It still looks as though a single filewall is not returning ICMP 
messages but the rest of the connection completes just fine as long 
as you're sending TCP packets and not ICMP pings.  Have you tried 
using tcptraceroute?

FWIW, I got my listings just fine about 4 hours ago.  I haven't had 
any mythfilldatabase problems recently.

Try running 'mythfilldatabase -v important,general,network,timestamp' 
from the shell and post the results.
