Hello,

2008-04-25 19:12:47.964 Cannot locate your home directory. Please set
the environment variable HOME or MYTHCONFDIR

This message only goes away when mythbackend has a user specified with
-v on the commandline.
Setting HOME/MYTHCONFIR in /etc/sysconfig/mythbackend does not help.

Mythbackend works OK when started directly (not as a daemon).
