Ok, now I've got mythtv up and running in mac OS X... I have a much better understanding of what's going on.

Your user htpc has a separate home dir. His log file will be in that folder not your ~/.mythicalLibrarian. It will probly be ~/../htpc/.mythicalLibrarian

There's many ways around it. Here is the simplest:
You can change the ownership of the folder and all sub-folders.

Code:

sudo chown -R htpc "/path/to/recordings"

where "/path/to/recordings" is your recording dir or where the files are moved if you chose folders in mythicalSetup.
