That's right: mythtvbackend is not running when I'm doing this.
The message: "Failed to open %1" sounds to me like te variable of the
filename not being passed through properly to the module which does
the actual importing of the channels.conf file. Where shall I start
searching in the code?

Did you make sure that mythbackend was not running before running
mythtv-setup?
