Problem with pvr download but not using CLI

[Budge]

Using openSUSE 13.2 x86_64 and get_iplayer v 2.94 and AtomicParsley
v0.9.6  02/22/2014 (wez)

I have my pvr list run as a cron job every night.

Since my machine failure and rebuild I have been having a problem with
the pvr downloads.  For example  The Now Show was downloaded recently
using pvr.  I loaded it onto my NAS but it would not play on renderer
and the thumbnail was not present.

I therefore downloaded it again from terminal using get_iplayer --get
13142 --type=radio --force.  The downloaded file was the same size but
when I loaded it onto NAS all was well.  Thumbnail present and it plays
fine. 

What might I have wrong.  It seems all my recent radio downloads may
have this problem!!!
