Without seeing the actual commands and output, I can only guess that the initial
restart of the backend didn't take.

The settings are cached, so you can really get by with just doing a:
mythutil --clearcache [-q -q] rather that restarting the BE.

Or, your original command line is fine. Just do: mythbackend --setverbose all.
Then when the backend starts your UserJob, the options will be passed. I'd
suggest adding ,norefcount to cut down on the noise from all.
