Hello All,

I'm not sure this is/was the correct fix, but it fixed it for me.
I'm running the mythbackend as root, not as 'mythtv' user.

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is
in it - and stay there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot
stove-lid.  She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that
is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
