Commenting out the ' cd $MYTHTV_HOME && daemon --user mythtv $binary
$OPTIONS ' line worked for my master backend machine, but the slave backends
still could not connect to the master. My machines used to grab their mysql
settings from /.mythtv/mysql.txt but they now appear to be defaulting to
/var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt

I had to edit the /etc/sysconfig/mythbackend file on each of my backends to
point $MYTHTV_HOME to the correct location for the mysql.txt file.
