I had a similar problem happen to me. I ended up having to run mythbackend as my myth user instead of running it as a service at startup. The result is the same, the permission access is different.
I would make some intelligent attempt at describing why it works, but try it out before I get on any type of soapbox! Good luck! -James -- -------------------------------------------- James D.
