[mythtv-users] Problem running pdatranscode

[malcolm torrent]

Jeff et al,
I've attempted to run the script from the command line with similar
errors found[see below]
The error appears to be something to do with opening the output file.
In an attempt to eliminate some strange permissions problems.  I've
also tried the script using data sourced and sent to /home/mythtv with
the same error writting to o/p file.
Clearly I've reached the limit of my abilities and will take any
further advice with gratitude.
Mal.
