Your PATH variable sets what PATH is traversed first.  Assumingly, you
have /usr/local appearing BEFORE /usr in your PATH variable (probably
set in /etc/profile).

In the future, instead of removing "everything myth" in /usr/local you
can re-download the tarball (assuming you've deleted your source) and:
./configure
Again, this take, a make uninstall should remove all myth applications
from /usr/local as that's the default target.  Same thing for the
plugins, grab the tarball, configure, then make uninstall.

Cool
