Thanks for the reply.  I saw the error in my loglevel option and fixed 
that.  I'm now able to run mythvidexport from the frontend and generate 
a log file but it still fails:

         raise MythError(MythError.SYSTEM,self.returncode,cmd,self.stderr)
     MythError: External system call failed: code 1


I can't seem to get it to work from command line at all.  Can I get the 
%JOBID% from somewhere to run from the command line?  (I've no intention 
to run from command line once I've figured out what's going wrong.)
Does the log file above give you any idea?

Thanks
