MythFillDatabaseLog doesn't exist, at least in the v32Pre code base, harmless

MythFillDatabasePath must be mythfilldatabase, any other value, like a full
path name will *prevent* mythfilldatabase logging.

MythFillFixProgramIDsHasRunOnce, I've only got one. Probably harmless.

MythFillMaxHour and Min are the same, that looks like a change just for
testing. Not the original 0-5AM.

I'd also look at the timestamps in housekeeping:

mysql> SELECT * FROM housekeeping WHERE tag='MythFillDB';
+------------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+
| tag        | hostname | lastrun             | lastsuccess         |
+------------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+
| MythFillDB | NULL     | 2022-01-12 09:00:02 | 2022-01-12 09:00:02 |
+------------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+

Once MythFillDatabasePath is corrected, I'd run the backend with -v system,xmltv
and there may be clues in the mythfilldatabase.log (or wherever you log to).
