One suggestion is to add the xset stuff to your myth user's login scripts, 
seems some folks need to have them there. Another suggestion would be to add 
this to xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "blank time" "0"
        Option "standby time" "0"
        Option "suspend time" "0"
        Option "off time" "0"
EndSection

Sorry it hasn't gone as smooth... :-(
