Basically, I was saying that ATrpms packages set things up properly so 
that when mythbackend is run from the start scripts, it's run in an 
environment that contains a HOME environment variable.  Since the start 
scripts themselves are provided by ATrpms, there shouldn't be any files 
to copy back after an update.

Anytime you're not using MythTV (or package) "stuff"--i.e. running 
mythfilldatabase from a cron job that /you/ configured--it's possible 
that it's not configured correctly.
