Not sure I follow that, but in the 1st case:

     emmatodd at htpc:~$ sudo /usr/bin/mythbackend --syslog loval7 --user mythtv

he's using the --user switch and must run as root, otherwise
the command will fail. But I suspect you know/mean that.

I agree sudo isn't required in the 2nd case, and, in fact the
HOME directory will be the same with or without the sudo.

In any case, there are 2 different config.xml files in play.

And I forgot to mention the typo, it --syslog local7, not
loval7. But that's not the problem at hand.
