Problems Downloading

I normally use the WebPVR Manager, under both Windows and Ubuntu.

The Windows system continues to work fine. Ubuntu not so much.

However, if I run from a command line, specifying the PID, Ubuntu works 
fine.

so, using Ubuntu, I issue the command:

get_iplayer pid=b01bl0q3

and end up with a downloaded movie, but if I attempt the same in the 
WebPVR I get the following screen full of errors. Any ideas/ suggestions 
to try?
