This could mean that you've set your system up to run mythfilldatabase
twice a day instead of once a day. The first one would work correctly
and the second would find no new data and report this message. If you
set up a cron job to run mythfilldatabase AND have the backend set to
automatically run it, that's what is happening.

Make sure you are using the same Group Filters on the frontend and
backend/frontend systems.
