Different ~/.xmltv/... files ?

It's easy to do, you're setting the system up and working in your own login and get it working. Then you find it's not working as a scheduled task, realise what the problem is, and copy the config file from your home directory to that of the MythTV user. Then years later, when you've forgotten all about it, you do some updates and wonder why the two users get different results.

Guess how that one comes to mind :-/
