I've had something similar happen. When you run it as a service, is your mythbackend service still running? When I run 'service mythbackend status', I usually get a 'pid file exists, but mythbackend is dead' message. When that happens, I find out it's because mythbackend is looking for its settings in //.mythtv/ instead of /root/.mythtv. I created a symlink called /.mythtv/ that points to /root/.mythtv and that seems to solve the problem for me.
