I have a Suse 10 installation, with VDR 1.3.37 with no patches but only a couple of plugins. Two cards, a Nexus FF sat card and a DVB-T card. Nexus firmware is the latest experimental on Suse site.
If I issue a GRAB command the file I get is "empty", blue. in Jpeg it's only kb, in PNM is a bit more but it contains (apart the header) all the same char!
The command I issue is: frank@linux:~> telnet localhost 2001 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 linux SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.3.37; Wed Mar 8 10:35:03 2006 grab image.pnm pnm 250 Grabbed image image.pnm pnm
In the log I get: Mar 8 10:35:03 linux vdr[4379]: connect from 127.0.0.1, port 1992 - accepted Mar 8 10:35:21 linux vdr[4379]: grabbing to image.pnm (PNM 100 924 576) Mar 8 10:35:29 linux vdr[4379]: closing SVDRP connection
I have no access to the console since the PC is 1500 km from me !!!
Any clue ?

Francesco,
I've also had recent problems with grab image creation. I didn't really have time to debug the source of the problem (updates of vdr, ImageMagick, kernel...).
I choose a "brute force" work-around using TVTIME (distributed with Fedora Core):
# run tvtime-command to create a png image
tvtime-command SCREENSHOT "bg.png" sleep 1
# use ImageMagick to covert image to jpeg
convert ~/bg.png ~/bg.jpeg
# move bg.jpeg from home directory to directly specified on command line, i.e. .
mv ~/bg.jpeg "$@"
# call image viewer, such as EyeOfGnome, to verify image is ok.
eog "$@"/bg.jpeg
Spero che questo ti aiuta in qualche modo!
