This was brought up back on 9/24. You're right, every thing's
fine, just no logs.  If you start your backend with the -v system
flag, I *think* you'll see a line like this in your BE log when
MFDB runs:

      ... command=/usr/local/bin/mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all --verbose general,system --logpath /var/log/mythtv --loglevel debug --quiet --quiet

where, in my case all the logging options are correct, except
the additional --quiet one.

I think mythsystemlegacy() is checking if you (or I) have the
--quiet flag set. And, if so, it appends the 2nd quiet and
that prevents the log.

Are you starting your backend with --quiet?

     ps ax|grep mythbackend|grep -v grep

would tell you.
