It is on screen 8 of 'general' of the mythtv-setup or about two screens prior to the screen where you enter the script location and parameters. If there are no descriptions for your user jobs it says 'allow user job 1' etc but if you have entered a description it will use that instead. Bottom right quarter of screen 8.

Any other ideas?
