At this point, it's sounding like you may be having database access 
issues.  Are you sure both the frontend and the backend are using the 
same database?  I've heard of people having a local MySQL running on a 
remote frontend as well as the backend.  In that situation, unless you 
configure Myth correctly, first, it will configure itself to look at the 
local MySQL, so you'd end up with two databases.

If that's not the case, perhaps it has to do with the hostname.  Perhaps 
you're running a combined frontend/backend with different users running 
frontend and backend and the two users have different mysql.txt files 
(in ~/.mythtv/, I think).

If not, I'm out of ideas.

No.  That should be harmless.

Probably not.  Most likely something in your configuration.
