I was doing a "bitbake -c cleanall myvideos" before each run of bitbake 
myvideos, but I just now tried bitbake myvideos -c cleansstate with no 
change in behavior.

It seems clear to me that do_unpack unpacks the tar.gz file to the

${WORKDIR}

but install is looking for them in

  ${WORKDIR}/${PN}-${PV}


Since S is not defined, I think the default is ${WORKDIR}/${PN}-${PV}

Not sure how to fix that.
