Hey Dan;

Check for the following in your backend's log:

     Registering HouseKeeperTask 'MythFillDB'.
     Queueing HouseKeeperTask 'MythFillDB'.
     Running HouseKeeperTask 'MythFillDB'.
     HouseKeeperTask 'MythFillDB' Finished Successfully.

I *believe* mythfilldatabase is only being called with
it's configured path and arguments (e.g. --dd-grab-all)
as set in mythtv-setup. It doesn't appear to inherit
the logging options from the backend.

I don't see any mythfilldatabase.* logfiles either. But,
I do have proper schedules.

You could just add --syslog (or whatever you prefer) to
your existing options for mfdb.
