Ooops.  You're right--no typos.  I misread your format (and made an
invalid assumption ;).  It turns out mythrename.pl doesn't yet do
leading 0's on seconds.

However, on all your recordings, seconds should be less than 10 (as
they're only really used as a counter, and it's very unlikely that Myth
would have created 11 recordings with the same name--i.e. on the same
channel and starting within the same minute).  So:

mythrename.pl --format %c_%Y%m%d%H%i0%s

should work.

Or:  http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4099

Thanks for the report.
