The perl bindings installed will be matched to whatever version of
myth is installed, won't they?

The problem comes in with how I'm doing the update - copying the new
recording to the myth_storage_dir as defined earlier in the thread,
then doing a mysql UPDATE, matching chanid and starttime and updating
"basename". If the previous database schema has the "basename" field,
it should still work. If they don't use it the same way, it might not.

I *think* it should still work. I recommend taking a close look at the
"recorded" table before blindly running the script. If anyone could
point me to a list of the schema changes, that would help, too.
