Sounds like it, and I'd recommend following the steps Simon listed.

In particular I'd suspect either this line:

> echo "192.168.0.50 mythtv.local.com> mythtv ">>/etc/hosts

(Simon spotted the syntax error.)

Or your mvpmc command line. You can test the latter by running the same 
command line manually after telnetting to your MVP. If it bombs out, I'd 
start by eliminating the -f /etc/helvR10.fnt and -t 
/usr/share/mvpmc/easy.xml switches, after making any corrections Simon 
recommended.

I tend to think you're better off in the long run getting persistent 
storage of your settings file working (see, for example, [1]), rather 
than piling everything onto the mvpmc command line.

Perhaps someone else can address this, but I haven't seen any place 
where mvpmc actually necessitates a host name (definitely not a domain 
name). If you pass IP addresses on the mvpmc command line (some of the 
parameters *must* be IP addresses), then there really is not a reason 
why it would be resolving host names to IP addresses and need to have 
/etc/hosts populated.

If you did want to have a host name, you could accomplish that by 
running a service like Dnsmasq.

Better not to repeat the same data twice:

echo "TZ=EST5EDT4,M4.1.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/02:00:00; export TZ" > 
/etc/shell.config
. /etc/shell.config

Also, according to my notes, you're using the old DST transition point 
and should instead be using:
EST+5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
