Thanks for the tip.  I have noticed when I create a new version of Ubuntu
with a fresh install of MythTV, I have to do a lot of chown commands when
bringing over my recordings from an old system before restoring the
mythconverg database.

So is UID 1010 and GID 1010 in a range that ubuntu will not use for its
purposes?
