[mythtvnz] mythfilldatabase not running

Hi - for quite a while now, my mythfilldatabase has not been running on 
schedule. I've been meaning to ask about it but every time I get around to it, 
my back end is recording - eg now, Dr Who :-) So can't be too specific about 
the back end settings.

It stopped a while ago, so I am not sure if it was after an upgrade or 
anything else I might have done. I have been running it as a ordinary user, 
and can run it successfully as the mythtv user on the back end.

I don't see anything in the mythbackend.log that gives me a clue, and I don't 
seem to be getting a mythfilldatabase.log any more. 

I set MythFillDatabaseArgs to --loglevel debug --logpath /var/log/mythtv -v 
xmltv

and  MythFillDatabasePath is /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase

Using these on the command line gives me a log file and works fine. 

I have done some googleing and so forth, but have yet to come up with a 
solution, or even how to find out if it is even trying to run. 

So - any ideas? How to fix or where to look?
Cheers,

Don
