ffmpeg_helper does not recognize correct ffmpeg pathway

I'm having a bizarre problem where ffmpeg_helper does not recognize the correct pathway for ffmpeg. (I am certain it is the correct path - ffmpeg_wrapper is fine with it)

Instead, it gives me the Set correct path for ffmpeg message. I can't get it to admit that ffmpeg is there - even if I manually adjust the variable in the database (video_ffmpeg_helper_ffmpeg_path) with the correct path.

It's extremely frustrating. (Not as frustrating as the vanishing video issue, but I found the patch for that one already. Thanks everyone! I don't know what I'd do without these forums)
