There is a mythfilldatabase.log but it hasn't been updated since December, so I'm wondering whether that log file is a leftover from a previous version of MythTV.  I grepped /var/log/mythtv/* and didn't find any recent mentions of mythfilldatabase.

You've checked the usual: that the log directory you've specified (or defaulted) 
can be written by the user which is running mythfilldatabase - which might not 
be the user which is running mythbackend, of course.

Check system or cron logs to see if the cron job is actually doing anything.
