If you're using CVS, make sure that both libmyth and mythphone are up 
to date. If you grabbed CVS for those two at different times, you might 
have incompatible versions of the settings code; a few rounds of 
changes went in last weekend.

Also, remember that hostname == frontend in terms of storing settings. 
So, if you're trying to run multiple instances on one computer, or you 
have several computers that all claim to be "localhost", you'll have to 
set up each with a unique name for the settings. This can be done in 
mysql.txt or the General Settings screen in the frontend. (This writes 
to $HOME/.mythtv/mysql.txt, so you'll want to run each under a 
different user if you're really doing this, or use mysql.txt files 
manually in the directory where you launch mythfrontend.)
