I get a similar problem, the problem for me is that as mythbackend is
running as root, it doesn't locate the configure files.
In /var/log/mythtv/mythfilldatabase I get the error message
config file //.mythtv/Satellite.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure
^^
This would tend to indicate that the environment variable $HOME doesn't
exist, which means it also doesn't probably exist in the mythbackend
process environment (it should inherit it when the backend forks
mythfilldatabase). When in your startup are you starting mythbackend?
I haven't yet found a solution, short of running is manually. I tried
running mythbackend as mythtv user but on FC3 that seems to cause
other problems. I also tried to pass the file in the arguments using
--graboptions "--configure /home/mythtv/.mythtv/Satellite.xmltv" but
this doesn't seem to work either.
If you're running mythfilldatabase as root and it works, then the config
file is probably in /root/.mythtv/whatever and not in /home/mythtv.
I suppose that a (very nasty) workaround would be to explicitly set
$HOME in your mythbackend startup script before starting the backend:
HOME=/root
export HOME
The thing is, it should be set...
