How about chmod u+s mythfrontend (not a+s)?  a+s also makes it SGID, 
which you shouldn't need.

Also make sure you don't have more than one mythfrontend binary.  Do a 
'which mythfrontend' and make sure it returns the one you are 
expecting.  Do an ls -l `which mythfrontend` .  Are the permissions like 
this: -rwsr-xr-x ? 

HTH,
