On Fedora with systemd, I used to have a 'sleep 10' as the first line in 
a pre-start.sh script fired up before the call to mythbackend. The 
pre-start.sh script also makes sure that the correct folders and links 
are ready too.
Changing the [Unit] section of the mythbackend.service file to add:

After=network.target mariadb.service NetworkManager-wait-online.service

fixes that problem... AIUI these lines force a wait until things are 
stable, before actually starting the service.
