If the "Guide data program" setting's (what you've called 
MythFillDatabasePath) value isn't exactly "mythfilldatabase" (no 
quotes), mythbackend will not automatically pass logging arguments to 
whatever program it runs.  The "Guide data arguments" are still passed 
to the executable, and could include custom logging options (i.e. to 
allow mythfilldatabase to run at a different logging level from 
mythbackend, even when mythfilldatabase is started by mythbackend by way 
of a custom script).  If the "Guide data program" setting's value is 
exactly "mythfilldatabase" and the "Guide data arguments" do not contain 
any MythTV-appropriate logging arguments (such as -v or --logpath or 
whatever), mythbackend will pass those arguments not supplied using the 
same values as were used for mythbackend.

MythTV doesn't have a MythFillDatabaseLog setting.
