Now that I have taken a look at the mythbox, I remember that there were 
files provided in the 'contrib' folder which were to be copied to 
/etc/sysconfig and /etc/rc.d/init.d for mythbackend. There were versions 
for both fedora and ubuntu. These extras have disappeared from the 
master download...

Which leaves us no further ahead at this point. Thanks for jogging my 
memory.
