I don't think that is going to work.  If mythbackend has locked up, 
or isn't running at all, then doing "/usr/local/bin/mythbackend stop" 
isn't much help.

I've never used Ubuntu, but I think the way to start/stop the backend is
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start|stop

(sample init.d script here http://parker1.co.uk/myth/mythtv-backend 
in case yours is missing)


So then the monitrc should have this:
####################
check process mythbackend with pidfile /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid
         group mythtv
         start program = "/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start"
         stop program  = "/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop"
         if failed port 6544 proto http then restart
         mode manual
         depends on mysql
