The thing is that I have to (currently) run mythbackend as root, but I
don't want to keep all the config data in root, but in mythtv.

Adding the --graboptions --config-file
"/home/mythtv/.mythtv/Satellite.xmltv" appears to work for me. It got
updated last night, although MythWeb Backend status reports it as
'currently running' and it isn't.
I set my system up using the debian packages. They provide a cron script that is run daily like this...

   $ cat
/etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend
   #!/bin/sh

   su mythtv -c "mythfilldatabase --quiet"

In case you aren't familiar with this, "su mythtv" will set the environment variable HOME to the home of the target user so it should be /home/mythtv on a standard install. In this case the tv_grab_au script should work correctly (it does for me). You can test it by running that command as root and see if you still get the same error.
