Firstly I think you may have caused problems using 
 #chkconfig mythbackend 35
as I stated before you should use insserv instead.


Try removing mythbackend and re-activating it using the following commands
insserv -r mythbackend

insserv mythbackend

To check the init scripts are correct use
insserv -v

If it still does not start on boot after that check your log messages to see 
why it is failing to start. The logs in particular are
 /var/log/boot.msg
/var/log/messages


Also I suggest you read the man page on insserv as it covers some of the 
important points on how SUSE sets up the init scripts. There is also more 
info in /etc/init.d/README.
