Will go through this again. I know it is some simple step that I
missed. I have indications that the SBE is able to connect to the MBE
but it does not seem to be a full connection.
Do I even need to run mysql on the SBE? I tried disabling mysqld on the
SBE but mythbackend would not startup. If it is not using the local
copy of mysqld then I would think it would startup. Unless this is an
indication of the actual problem. Maybe I'm getting close to figuring
this out.

Thanks for helping me try to figure this out.
