And, FWIW, any time you need to "force an update" when using Schedules 
Direct, you should use --dd-grab-all.  Anytime.  Even if your system is 
underpowered, at which point you should shut down your backend systems 
(meaning you would ideally find a time when they're not busy) and run 
mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all by hand at the command line (using the 
proper user/environment) and then wait (for 45min or an hour or 2 hours 
or ... however long it takes on your system).  Then, once the command 
completes, you can restart your backends and enjoy the updated data.
