After running updatedb/slocate I found exactly 3 mysql.txt files. I eliminated 
all but one and... it's still the same situation. 

Thanks for the tip though.

This makes sense to me save one thing... Even after the computer is fully 
booted, try to execute the mythbackend script from a command line fails... 
But executing mythbackend as a program succeeds.

It's not a real show stopper by far, just one of those things I can't fix...
