The problem was solved for me with M. Dean's help. See my first post on this thread.
 
I use opensuse, and although I install the trunk version of myth, I kept the mythbackend script from the rpm package in /etc/init.d
 
In that script, I included ALL the following before the part that starts the backend:
 
 
export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 
export LC_CTYPE="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_NUMERIC="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_TIME="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_COLLATE="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_MONETARY="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_MESSAGES="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_PAPER="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_NAME="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_ADDRESS="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_TELEPHONE="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_MEASUREMENT="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_IDENTIFICATION="el_GR.UTF-8" 
export LC_ALL=el_GR.UTF-8 
 
Maybe it's just the LC_ALL that does the trick, but I don't want to test it!
