Hmmm... well something certainly seems flakey.  It looks to me like the 
running mythbackend process doesn't think its hostname is 
"localhost.localdomain", so it's looking for a slave backend named 
"localhost.localdomain" to contact.  I'd suggest you get your network 
properly configured with a real hostname, then clear your capturecard 
info from the database & re-run mythtv-setup.
