Once again, weirdness happened.  I noticed Man Vs Wild recorded last
night.  There was no schedule for recording the show.  There was also
a Warren Buffett show scheduled to record tonight - once again, no
rule for it.  I noticed the following in my last mythfilldatabase log:

I just re-ran mythfilldatabase manually, and I received the same
errors (I've run it before to correct schedule issues without getting
these errors.  Any thoughts as to what's causing these database fill
errors?
