Also, check the permissions on the entries in /dev/ceton.  mythbackend
needs to have read/write access to them.  Unless you run mythbackend
as root, which isn't recommended, you probably need to have udev rules
change the permissions from root:roo/600 to something else.  For
example, I use root:video/660 and run mythbackend as user mythtv which
is part of the video group.
