Where should mpg's be?  This is the directory I set up when installing
MythTV.  There are no access problems -- /var/lib/mythtv is wide open.

The problem has righted itself at this point for reasons that are as obscure
to me as the original problem.  Only things that I have done in the mean
time is power cycle the machine and installed some package updates with no
apparent connection to MythTV.
