Quite sure yes, the only thing I've spotted and what I wanted to test is that the init script for mythbackend defines MYTHCONFDIR, which isn't defined if I run mythfilldatabase from the command line.

So when run from the command line I get the following in the log
	2011-11-01 16:23:33.038 Using runtime prefix = /usr
	2011-11-01 16:23:33.038 Using configuration directory = /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv
	....
	2011-11-01 16:23:34.381 XMLTV config file is: /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv

but when run from mythbackend I get
	2011-11-01 02:32:42.162 Using runtime prefix = /usr 
	2011-11-01 02:32:42.195 Read conf dir = /var/lib/mythtv 
	2011-11-01 02:32:42.195 Using configuration directory = /var/lib/mythtv 
	....
	2011-11-01 02:32:48.495 XMLTV config file is: /var/lib/mythtv/Freeview.xmltv
	Using old-style config file
	config file /var/lib/mythtv/Freeview.xmltv does not exist, run me with --configure
