Amusing timing, I just sent a message to the list about the same  
problem (http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2007-October/ 
198149.html).  Same OS, same versions.

I'm finding that it's only on some recordings where fast forward or  
rewind is working properly at all.

I've seen references to fixing the problem by doing a lossless  
transcode on the recordings, but I haven't yet figured out how to  
accomplish this (I've been using MythTV for only a month, and  
transcoding is something I haven't tackled yet.)

I've also seen references in my searching with Google that it could  
be a disk throughput issue.  I'm in the process of figuring out of  
this is the case on my system.
