I'm still on 0.25.2 with an FE/BE box so have no direct experience of 
this, but I'm surprised that it's looking at the base directory (?) of 
port 6543.  Is that what you see as the problem? Does mythburn.log have 
any more to say?

Here's a bit of my last progress.log

15:49:36 Final DVD Video format will be pal
15:49:36 There are 4 file(s) to process
