Stephen,
Another user mentioned that sometimes they get a permissions error
when running Lossless Cut as a user job. We have not gotten to the
bottom of that issue yet. At least your situation seems more consistent
which means it is probably easier to resolve.
I double checked the code and the trap that ends up displaying the text
"Processing the configuration file failed" is immediately followed by a
"sys.exit(1)" which should be indication of a failed job as far as I
know "0" success and "1" failed.
My set up is probably very different than yours but here is what I did
to hook up the mythtv user with my regular user's ~./mythtv directory
fro consistent configuration files. Below is a comparison of the
permissions as seen from the mythtv account which the BE runs under and
my regular "doug" account. I am grasping-at-straws but something below
may trigger an idea for you.

Vs my regular user account:

0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 doug doug 27 Apr 12 2012 /home/doug/.mythtv ->
/media/virtual/home/.mythtv
and
> ls -ls /tmp
total 1320

2583_20121012010000.log
4 drwxr-xr-x 2 doug doug 4096 Oct 12 11:30 lossless_cut
I would like to see this issue to resolution. I did remove out
additional listed files in the /tmp and ~/.mythtv directories but left
those that I felt were relevant.
Doug
