 From these log excerpts, I can say everything is working properly!

Now, if you post the actual (complete) log files from a single run of 
mythbackend and mythfrontend with the -v file argument, we might learn 
otherwise...

I.e. I can't see an error that you don't recognize as an error if you 
don't show me the whole log.  If you were able to actually find the 
errors in the logs, there's a good chance you wouldn't need to ask me 
for help finding the problem.  ;)
