nothing unusual about your user account name or password on SD?  Perhaps
mythtv-setup doesn't like some characters that SD and mythfilldatabase
don't care about?  Mine username is my email address (all lower case, a
total of 15 chars) and it's never given me any trouble.  My password is
equally simple (no special characters or anything that might get filtered
out for any reason).
