That is just what I do. I run it all as root...
However, I got a tip to see if the $HOME path is correct, and it seems
as the $HOME is decided by the backent initscript:
# grep HOME /etc/init.d/mythbackend
HOME="$(dirname "${MYTH_PID}")"
And the PID is set to...
MYTH_PID="/var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid"
Therefore, the $HOME is set to /var/run/mythtv/ rather than /root as it is
when running from a regular shell.
Don't know what's broken here. Is it a Gentoo-specific problem (with the
ebuild?) or is it the initscript that comes with MythTV?
