[Brett Miller <blm-ubunet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Root cause could be..the command line parsering of the program "mythutil" changed sometime in 0.26 release..
The command line parsing now requires <space> to be escaped or wrapped in quotes, previously  the cmd options were delimited by --option_keyword & not messed up by spaces.

I had to modify private scripts that utilize "mythutil"  to allow
passing start-time info, part of that was <space> chararters.

Non-compiling workarounds:
- you can copy the failed cmd from log file & run it (mythutil) from a terminal with quotes or escapes..
- could make a wrapper "fake mythutil" script that just adds the quotes (for --outfile) & then calls "mythutil.real"
