The error fires when the backend housekeeper gets a return code
other than GENERIC_EXIT_OK (which is 0.)

Some users have make mythfilldatabase a script that calls the real
thing (in order to make sure the network is up/dns is working.)

locate -b '\mythfilldatabase' should return a single file and
it's known to the backend to be in the GetAppBinDir(). That's
usually /usr/bin as you had before.

Is the output of locate the executable or a shell script?
