If one is running a recent fixes/31 (or
master) build, it is often useful to run
with xmltv as an added verbosity:

   mythfilldatabase --verbose general,xmltv

which should provide any output from the
grabber itself in the log file (grabbers can
fail in numerous ways, and the exit value
is typically "something bad happened").

I would suggest that defaulting to the
additional xmltv verbosity is likely a good
configuration setting for many people
(the additional log lines are typically few,
and if something bad happens (and
something bad will always happen) you
might get an early clue).
