I hope I did this right.  I entered "mythbackend --setverbose 
general,extra" from a terminal window, and tailed the log file from 
another window.  I saw nothing at all in the log, and the following from 
the mythbackend run:

hdevine at hdevine-desktop:/usr/bin$ sudo mythbackend --setverbose 
general,extra

Any ideas?
