It WFM on v30 too (I never knew this existed, very cool)

Mine was very similar:

Apr 27 08:21:05 I HttpServer12 mythfexml.cpp:136 (GetScreenShot) Screen shot requested (0x0), format png
Apr 27 08:21:05 I CoreContext mythmainwindow.cpp:900 (SaveScreenShot) Saving screenshot to //tmp//myth-screenshot-XML.png (1842x1028)
Apr 27 08:21:05 I CoreContext mythmainwindow.cpp:904 (SaveScreenShot) MythMainWindow::screenShot succeeded

Perhaps it needs a specific storage group to be setup to point to /tmp?
