I downloaded the latest .25-fixes dmg from sourceforge for 10.7 and is dated 2012-06-05.
fixes/0.25 [v0.25.1] www.mythtv.org
 Qt version: compile: 4.8.1, runtime: 4.8.1

My objective is to use the mac slave backend only when I want mythtv to transcode and I have set up a startmyth.sh and stopmyth.sh to mount nfs/start mythbackend, and umount nfs/stop mythbackend respectively. 

My master backend is a lightweight AMD fusion processor with low power requirements and is configured to not transcode jobs. It suffices for all recording, and serving of video. I do not have any tuners configured on the Mac slave backend.

I have the mac do an nfs mount of the /var/lib/mythtv dir structure from the mac to the master backend to read the source mpg and write the transcode file to.
