[mythtv-users] service mythbackend start fails - HOME env variable

This may be Fedora specific, and maybe better asked on the ATrpms list. 
But I get this message in mythbackend.log when I run 'service 
mythbackend start'

2008-02-21 11:51:59.650 Cannot locate your home directory. Please set 
the environment variable HOME or MYTHCONFDIR

Everything works fine if I run as the mythtv user. So I'm wonder if the 
problem is with the init.d file that starts up the backend.
