Ah this was filed against the wrong source package and lost.

That cron job has been dropped since then with current builds.

** Package changed: mythvideo (Ubuntu) => mythtv (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: mythtv (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  mythvideo's cronjob assumes root can access mythtv tv's home directory

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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'
