Well if you're going to get myth to run it then you could edit
whatever script is starting the backend to make it add /usr/local/bin
to the path before it starts the backend. 

For cron the best solution is probably to write a small shell script
in /usr/local/bin or something that adjusts the path and then runs
mythfilldatabase and then schedule that script with cron.

The other option is to put tv_grab_au in /usr/bin or something so that
it is on the default path. I can understand not wanting to do that if
it isn't part of a package though as I wouldn't want to either.
