[mythtv-users] Help with Mythlink.pl

Ok, having an issue with Mythlink.pl

Would like to get this command to work:

/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl --link
/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/pretty --chanid %CHANID% --starttime %STARTTIME%
 --format '%T'

Running it from the terminal window or running it from a MythTV user job
but indicate it runs successfully...  (note: when running it from the
terminal window I obviously had to put in the actual chanid and starttime
values...) However it doesn't actually create the friendly named file link
even though it looks like it runs successfully.

If I run this command:

/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl --link
/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/pretty --format '%T'

Then it also runs and _does_ create the links for all recordings in my
library...

I've read 30+ different troubleshooting searches on Google from looking at
permissions to syntax so running the command with elevated rights, etc...

I could really use some ideas at this point to help me pinpoint what's
causing it not to work.
