No, the BE is running as root, with the icons in
/root/.mythtv/channels

Others choose to place the icons in a directory unrelated to a

manually adding a ChannelIcons Storage Group with their own

Well is that what I need to do? Is this an issue related to my FE
and BE running as different users?

Test with this from your browser (it's what the BE, mythweb and
WebFrontend (0.28-pre) use):

Nope, nothing. Also no error. Just a blank browser window. But
port 6544 *is* up and working.

Since you just got a fresh copy of the icons, they should be
(correctly) stored in the DB as
<br>
filenames only. No full paths as with earlier versions of
MythTV. If that's not true, then the
<br>
above test from your browser will fail.

<br>
I looked at the DB. Channels has just the file name.

That's where my icons went. But if I don't create a ChannelIcons
storage group, how do I find out how it is defined?<br>
