Looking back at your original question, you would need to use
'%DIR%/%FILE%', as file is only the basename of the recording. You may
also have permissions issues writing to '~dave', since it would be run
by whatever user was running the backend. I threw together a quick
wrapper script that would be used as "mythccextract_wrapper.py %JOBID%
%VERBOSEMODE%", with optional --outdir and --rename.

Mythccextract writes the srt files as another player would expect them
to appear for proper playback. I expect whatever duplicate filtering
you are doing is too application specific to have much use out of your
own. You would have to wrap that around the output files, but using
mythccextract would mean you weren't having to maintain your own
mechanism for extraction captions from the video. You may want to
consider dumping the captions into a database, and doing such filtering
at runtime instead. I know SageTV operates that way, and I expect
Digital Nirvana (who submitted the mythccextract patches) configures
their systems in that manner as well.
