What should matter is the mysql user that connects, not the unix user, 
if you get my drift. Most mythtv systems seem to be set up with one and 
one only mysql user, (often called mythtv) no matter how many front ends 
you have. This doesn't mean that you have to run the frontend on another 
machine as user mythtv, it means that the settings in 
/home/username/.mythtv/mysql.txt must be set to connect as the mythtv 
user. For example on my frontend machine I run as nick, so 
/home/nick/.mythtv/mysql.txt contains:

nick@sf ~ $ cat /home/nick/.mythtv/mysql.txt
DBHostName=192.168.1.11
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=youcanprobablyguessanyway
DBName=mythconverg
DBType=QMYSQL3

192.168.1.11 is the backend (combined B/F actually)

This should be all that is needed for permissions to be right, as all 
recording and saving and is done by the backend, and database 
manipulation done by the mythtv user.
