I have tracked this more by using Mythweb to try to access the list of
videos.  Mythweb errors with the following text:

*Fatal Error* at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/video.php, line 50:
SQL Error: Error writing file '/tmp/MYbKY3mI' (Errcode: 28)

...examining the video.php file, here is where the failure is occurring:

 $query = "SELECT * FROM videometadata " . $where . " ORDER BY title";
        $result = mysql_query($query)
            or trigger_error('SQL Error: '.mysql_error(), FATAL);

...errcode 28 is "System error:  28 = No space left on device"

...so, it appears that there is some sort of space issue with /tmp. 
However, there is plenty of space on my disk:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3              9775248   5382556   4392692  56% /
/dev/hda4            106893240  55632988  51260252  53% /mnt/video
none                    241212         0    241212   0% /dev/shm


please help.  Any hint would be appreciated.
