It's running /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase and it is a binary, not a script:

$ file /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64,
version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/l, for
GNU/Linux 3.2.0,
BuildID[sha1]=58cefb7ad2aec3247884b5d3a991b13e26259fe6, stripped

Data is getting inserted correctly, which is why I didn't detect this
earlier. Makes it all the more confusing.
