Well another day has passed and mythfilldatabase ran again and the 
warning is the same and the number of days of guide data is one less 
than yesterday. If I use mythweb and look at the listing data, all 
channels have data out 18 days.  A few have data out 20 days.

This is not a problem unless the days keep ticking down. I ran 
mythfilldatabase again as user 'mythtv' and it shows some updates even 
since 2 am:
