Not that this helps but I have the exact same two problems. The last
thing I got in the database log was from the old master (several
months ago). And I have had to schedule mythfilldatabase via a cron
job because it was never running. Other than that all is well. I am
using a svn version of mythtv-0.21 under 64 bit gentoo.
