Make sure the ivtv drivers are being loaded before attempting to start
mythbackend.  I had a similar problem (although on FC4) and it turned out
that the ivtv drivers weren't being loaded early enough.  So the backend was
trying to start, failing to find/initialize any tuners and then dying.  Have
you looked to see if the backend is putting anything in the log files?
