Did you have any crashed tables before you ran optimize_mythdb.pl?  If 
not, then running optimize_mythdb.pl is unrelated to the failure.

If you had crashed tables, are you certain that you did the backup 
/before/ you had any crashed tables (because if you have crashed tables, 
they will cause the backup to fail--meaning you'd only have a partial 
backup).

Regardless, you likely just need to go into mythtv-setup and fix your 
Storage Groups configuration.
