I've spent days on this issue and read as many posts as I can and am still no closer. So here goes.
Vital statistics and testing below:
Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
HTS Tvheadend 3.2.34~gfaee94b~quantal
XBMC 12 "Frodo"
$ sudo apt-get install xmltv

When I set Tvheadend internal grabber to XMLTV:Australia I get
Mar 02 23:12:05 /usr/bin/tv_grab_au: grab /usr/bin/tv_grab_au
Mar 02 23:12:13 /usr/bin/tv_grab_au: no output detected
Mar 02 23:12:13 /usr/bin/tv_grab_au: grab returned no data
Just to check in Tvheadend I set the internal grabber to XMLTV:France and get
Mar 02 23:10:06 /usr/bin/tv_grab_fr: grab /usr/bin/tv_grab_fr
Mar 02 23:10:07 /usr/bin/tv_grab_fr: grab took 1 seconds

I know the tv_grab_au is working for user hts - attached is the xmltv output.
OTA EPG works correctly, it is just metadata poor in Australia. I noticed that in the Channels configuration screen when I click on the epg grabber field it just opens an empty list box saying "loading" - no matter how many epg sources I set up.
I hope someone can point out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for a great tool. Revolutionised my loungeroom.
