OK, this:

coupled with the fact that all of the "exit 1;" lines in 
http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/grab/se_swedb/tv_grab_se_swedb.in?revision=1.8&view=markup 
leads me to believe that there's a problem with your config file.  Since 
you said the same command works fine when you run it manually, I'm 
guessing that means that the user who's running mythbackend doesn't have 
permission to access /home/stefan/.mythtv/DVB.xmltv (which is a good 
thing, since only stefan should have access to stefan's home directory).

So, you'll likely just need to re-configure mythfilldatabase 
(mythfilldatabase --manual ?  or something?) as the user who runs 
mythbackend (and, therefore, who runs mythfilldatabase).
