Found the problem: I can't execute it from my MMC card, I have to copy it into the main filing system (i.e. /usr/bin/ rather than /media/mmc1/).

Odd Maemo restriction...

Works like a dream though - I'm now considering various transcoding strategies. Know of a way of getting mencoder or transcode to add horizontal or vertical bars to movies so that I can encode them to 400x240 or 320x240 whilst maintaining the original picture aspect ratio?
