You have to make changes to MySQL privileges as a MySQL user who has 
access to the privilege tables.  I.e. log in to MySQL as root before you 
issue the grant command.

http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.2

User mythtv does not have permission to grant user mythtv privileges.  
That would be a huge security hole...

All of this is covered in the MySQL privilege system documentation at 
the links I provided in the other thread.
