Thanks for the quick reply.

It had one file in it, but it's now empty.  No real change to the Mythweb
status screen:
"Last mythfilldatabase run started on Wed Apr 3, 7:32 PM and ended on Wed
Apr 3, 7:33 PM. Successful.
There's guide data until 2013-04-20 04:00:00 (16 day(s)).
DataDirect Status: Your subscription expires on Mon Apr 28 (2014) 9:51 AM"

But when I ran it from terminal to get it to update it says:

So I will wait until 4/5 to find out if it's working, I guess.

These ISOs are definitely not encrypted.  They played fine on 0.25-fixes via
Storage Groups.

Not all of my ISOs error out, though.  Just several of them on 0.26.  Again,
all worked fine under 0.25-fixes.
