No other changes, however I may have spoken too soon, as running it at 
the moment it starts, lists the channels in Myth, then dies with

Then running it again, is working.

Something is making it intermittent. Is there a way that i can make it 
log a bit more to figure out what is going on? I'll have another go in 
the morning to see what happens there, as the system is recording at the 
moment, and seems to be ok.
