Dit you on removing 0.28 also remove the .mythtv directory for the
user who ran that backend?
Could it be that somewhere the 0.28 database is still hanging around
and that your ~/.mythtv/config.xml is pointing wrong? If MythWeb and
your frontends are looking at one instance and mythfilldatabase is
adding data to another. I don't know if that is possible by accident,
but there are ways to run two versions in parallel.

How about not removing MythTV, but clearing the disk and reinstall????
It seems somehow somewhere there are some hidden artefacts and why not
make sure that can not be on that machine! You can keep your
recording/data disk or backup important stuff to another disk/machine.
