Because the environment from which this is being run doesn't have a HOME 
environment variable defined.  You need to run this from the user that 
will run mythbackend /and/ you need to ensure you've set an appropriate 
value for HOME.  I.e. in the script that starts mythbackend, use:

export HOME=/home/mythtv

or something as appropriate.
