Seems odd that it works from the command line and then starting
mythfrontend from same command line it won't work

I will look to see if that's set globally somehow - it's not in the
scripts.

Hmmm. Adding -T doesn't change anything implying it already thinks it's
on. And the error message does say it's running setgid...

Oh crap. It's mythfrontend that's setuid/gid here. Damn!
Sure enough, turning that off changes everything.

Now it complains the args are incorrect:

It's leaving off the movieid. This is trunk [20282M], is that expected
behavior?

Getting closer! :-)
