well, I would say that these look fairly important:

2015-10-02 13:48:05.116783 E [15990/15990] CoreContext configuration.cpp:67 (Load) - Error parsing:
/etc/mythtv/config.xml at line: 1  column: 1
2015-10-02 13:48:05.116785 E [15990/15990] CoreContext configuration.cpp:69 (Load) - Error Msg:
unexpected end of file

Without a valid config.xml file, there's no way to tell what the program is using for defaults.

It probably means that you are running with the wrong user; and that in turn will mean that the 
files you are trying to operate on will have the wrong permissions set.
