The middle one is in error. rm /home/barry/.mythtv/config.xml, then as
user barry (not root) type:

     ln -s /etc/mythtv/config.xml ~/.mythtv/config.xml

It doesn't hurt anything, as long as the data in the file is the
same (which you proved it wasn't.)

The links just make life easier because there's only one file
with data and two others pointing to it.
