Jim's answer is probably correct: I had the same issue recently. Also, 
the XMLTV page reference has a warning reminder comment to become the 
mythtv user (I believe 'sudo su mythtv', use 'whomami' to check).  I may 
have skipped that step in  my recent Backend creation and 
mythfilldatabase did not work properly.  Workaround seems to be to run 
as a cron job.
