The log file isn't giving any errors at all -- I tail -f the file while it's 
processing and it looks fine.  Does Project X produce it's own log file that 
i can follow?

Plenty of space -- 10+ gig of space.

I have Xvfb running and like I said, first time round it worked fine but after 
that forget it.  I've even re-installed to no avail.  

It's definitely the Demuxer that's messing up -- if I can figure that part out 
I think I'll be ok --
