Thanks for the replies:

I tried the --try_defaults and came up with the same thing. mythfrontend->setup says that the machine name is 'tv' btw.

manicmike, let me know when you post it. I would love to test it for you.

EDIT: I got it to work. I changed the command to this:
myth.rebuilddatabase.pl --user mythtv --pass mythtv --dir /mnt/video/TV --dbhost="localhost"
It is working now. What I have to do now is figure out how to research the program names...

Is there anything in the pretty directory? (/myth/pretty)

tjc,
I don't have a myth/pretty dir. There is a myth/nuv2disk/pretty dir however, it looks like it only has the restored files.

Hi Rob,

Nigel Pearson pointed out that it's already been updated. I nearly fixed it, though. Here is my patch (which is probably not a patch on the real fix, but I'll use it anyway because I made it and a bit of bloody mindedness). It doesn't quite work (inserts the wrong field order), and there's no point in fixing it now:
