Hi Paul, I'm now running v0.27-93-gb0c1c97.  I still get the same error, 
mythtranscode cannot find the recording.  If I patch the new mythburn.py 
with this patch it works fine:

I also put in the following patch which writes to the log file, to see 
how mythtranscode was being called during a successful run:

This is the desired file to be processed:
Processing recording 1: '/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1571_20131117160300.mpg'

This is the mythtranscode command line generated by the current 
unpatched mythburn.py which fails:
mythtranscode --mpeg2 --chanid 1571 --starttime 
2013-11-17T10:03:00-06:00 --outfile 
"/var/lib/mytharchive/temp/work/1/newfile.mpg"

This is the mythtranscode command line generated after applying the 
first patch listed above which then succeeds:
mythtranscode --mpeg2 --chanid 1571 --starttime 2013-11-17T16:03:00 
--outfile "/var/lib/mytharchive/temp/work/1/newfile.mpg"

In the case of failure, mythtranscode does not understand time zone 
offsets.  After applying the patch, the timezone offset is computed into 
the the starttime before it is handed to mythtranscode.

As an aside, the new mythburn.py (92) is different from the old 
mythburn.py (pre 92) but the version number in the mythburn.py file has 
stayed the same.  So that's a bit confusing.

Thanks for looking into  this,
Ziggy
