I was su'ing to the myth user. However, I have the same config.xml in 
/home/ian, which is readable by MythTV. I also get the same errors when 
I log in as mythtv. The command is from a script which is run by the 
mythtv user. This all worked fine before the upgrade from 0.22->0.23, so 
I am assuming it's connected with the upgrade:)
