I mount mythtv's home directory using Kerberized NFS.  The local root
user is unable to access /home (unless root first kinits, of course).
The result is that /etc/cron.hourly/mythvideo does not work for me.
However, there is no good reason for it to fail and the fix is simple:
simply fold the if into the su! The following works for me:

#!/bin/sh                                                                       
#Hourly massive update to ensure users see graphics coming in for upcoming recordings and current recordings                                                   
su mythtv -c '                                                                  
  if [ -f "$HOME/.mythtv/config.xml" ]; then                                    
    /usr/bin/python /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MW >> "/var/lo\
g/mythtv/jamu.log";                                                             
  fi'
