Thanks for the response.

With this debugging on, I could see my script was getting called, but 
failing due to a permission issue before the debug command we even 
getting run.  It was a wrapper script that handled multiple HD-PVRs and 
the failures were only happening on one receiver.  I was able to debug 
the issue ( and hopefully ) all is well again.

Thank you for an insightful suggestion!
