When the logs show Myth starting the recording on time and finishing the
recording on time with no recording errors yet the file is not created,
it means that Myth is getting no data at all from the capture card. 
This is generally due to a problem with the card/drivers/configuration.

Make sure your capture is working outside of Myth, then find out what
Myth is doing differently.
