It does actually run on the backend. I think I know what I did - I used
a local setting (host-specific) instead of a global one. The settings
that the backend look for are the same hostname as the backend.
I'll fix it up and send in a patch...
In the meantime, set it to run on the mythfrontend on the backend box,
and you should be good.
