Public bug reported:

I am running the nightly master builds currently at
2:0.25.0~master.20111213.72d4370-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2

At some point the logging for the backend in the mythbuntu packages was
changed to use syslog together with an rsyslogd configuration stanza:

---- cut ----
$FileOwner mythtv
$FileGroup mythtv
$FileCreateMode 0644
$DirOwner mythtv
$DirGroup mythtv
$DirCreateMode 0755

$template mythtvFile,"/var/log/mythtv/%programname%.log"

local7.* ?mythtvFile
& ~
---- cut ----

This is not working as I think you expect it should be working.
Specifically, the log files being created by rsyslogd are not
owner.group mythtv.mythtv:

-rw-r--r-- 1 syslog syslog 3456 2011-12-14 00:25 mythbackend.log

Of course, I had to make the containing directory (/var/log/mythtv/)
permissive to creating files with such ownership.
