mythutil not changing loging filtering

[warpme@…]

Using "mythutil --verbose channel,record" seems to not change logging filtering as expected and returns somehow mixed output:

[root@mythtv ~]# mythutil --verbose channel,record
mythutil version: master [v0.26-beta-55-g9ed48cb-dirty-20120829] www.mythtv.org

"mythutil --loglevel" sets the log level for that mythutil instance.

You still need to use "mythbackend --setloglevel" to change the log level of the running master backend. This hasn't been moved over to mythutil.
