LinHES

I can't reproduce this. For listing the data and deletes the script uses the same python bindings. What happens when you run it as user mythtv and not root? My guess is this is a problem with config.xml. LinHES tries to link /root/.mythtv/config.xml and /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml to /usr/share/mythtv/config.xml so they are all the same.

Same behavior when running as mythtv.

In mythtv-setup is your IPv6 address something other than ::1? If it is try setting it to ::1.
