Apparently this is normally because the user who set up the configuration is often not the user (mythtv) that is automatically running the script.

If you are getting this error from mythtv, but mythfilldatabase works fine,  then set the HOME  variable to the correct value in the mythtv start/stop script. e.g. export HOME=/root. (assuming that mythtv is start as root)

/etc/init.d/mythbackend

On Redhat systems, the default home seems to be at
/var/lib/mythtv
