Digging around a little, I notice the housekeeping table:

The master is hostname is "mammouth", fodvo is a FE slave BE.  
Its possible early in the setup it might have been 
called "mammouth.foddy.home", fully qualified.
Notice the duplicate entry of "JobQueueRecover" parameter.
It also so happens that 9/22/2007 was the last time mythfilldatabase ran.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?  Should I alter database records to remove
the fully qualified names, or alter the hostname to be fully qualified?
Or am I totally off-base.
