I'm assuming that's a typo and you really meant ~/.mythtv/config.xml

I'm guessing (based on the directory you're in and the end result) that 
you've sudo'ed or su'ed and you didn't do it properly, so you still have 
the old HOME, so you're not using /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml, but 
using /home/ian/.mythtv/config.xml.  To fix it, you should start a login 
shell.
