This sounds just like I did just now but I install xmltv prior to running mythtv-setup the first time. I also confirmed in /etc/group that “jim” was in the mythtv after I logged out and back in.
Still hit me with the need to be added to the group the setup time I ran mythtv-setup. I ran it from the terminal and there was a message in the terminal that jim was already part of the group mythtv.  

So who knows.
