The first thing I noticed is that the permissions are wrong in your recordings dir.
Here is my mythtv recordings dir. At a minimum you must have RW access. I have not modified the permissions in this folder at all. This is default and normal. I also noticed that there are no pictures to go with your
Your permissions look like you chmod 555'd it. It should be 666'd. There is no write access in that folder, but every file is readable and executable which makes no sense for media files.
Make sure that mythtv is in the Robot group. I'm actually not sure why, but even the owner isn't allowed to do certain things unless they're a member of a group.
Is it just that one entry that does not have any "new search initiated"? the next entry has it. It could have been that the updater was activated in the middle of mythtv processing the file so the log was dumped into the old log. Can I see the next entry? I would like to get more information. I'm getting ideas as to how to properly handle this, and I believe this setup issue could be handled autonomously in mythicalSetup.
