Thanks for all the help. Here's the output from the three commands that 
James and Mike suggested.

damian at MythBox:~$ grep "ARGS=" /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend 
/etc/default/mythtv-backend
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend:ARGS="--daemon --logfile 
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile $RUNDIR/$NAME.pid"
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend:EXTRA_ARGS=""
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend:ARGS="$ARGS $EXTRA_ARGS"
/etc/default/mythtv-backend:#ARGS=""
/etc/default/mythtv-backend:#EXTRA_ARGS="--verbose"
damian at MythBox:~$

damian at MythBox:~$ grep "Enabled verbose msgs" 
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
2008-12-09 13:48:48.652 Enabled verbose msgs:  important general
2008-12-09 14:26:56.295 Enabled verbose msgs:  important general
damian at MythBox:~$

damian at MythBox:~$ ps -ef|grep mythbackend
mythtv    5618     1  2 14:26 ?        00:06:44 /usr/bin/mythbackend 
--daemon --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile 
/var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid
damian    8235  8186  0 19:48 pts/1    00:00:00 grep mythbackend
damian at MythBox:~$


Can anyone help me decipher if there's anything wrong in there? Is it the:
/etc/default/mythtv-backend:#EXTRA_ARGS="--verbose"
line? And if so where to I change that setting?

Excuse my ignorance. My Linux knowledge is getting slowly better, but 
I've got a long way to go.

Cheers
Damian
