The symbolic link did it!  If you were here, I'd kiss you.  Lucky for you,
then...

The odd thing is that it also fixed the problem with the previews, i.e.
"Preview Error: Run() file not local:
'/video/recordings/1708_20100118210000.mpg'"  What does an audio codec have
to do with generating screenshots?

Anyway should I report this as a bug?  Seems as though the mythtv package is
looking for an outdated version of libfaad.
