The mythtv backup scripts exists with error code 2 and does no backup if root has an .my.cnf file for mysqldump with different user.

The reason is already described in then code of "mythconverg_backup.pl":

        verbose($verbose_level_debug,
                '', "Attempting to use supplied password for $mysqldump.",
                'Any [client] or [mysqldump] password specified in the MySQL'.
                ' options file will',
                'take precedence.');

By reading the /etc/default/mythtv-backend file and using sudo if the mythv user is set,this could be solved:

#!/bin/sh
# /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database script - check and backup mythconverg tables
# Copyright 2005/12/02 2006/10/08 Paul Andreassen

set -e -u

DBNAME="mythconverg"
DEBIAN="--defaults-extra-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf"

/usr/bin/mysqlcheck $DEBIAN -s $DBNAME

if [ -e "/etc/default/mythtv-backend" ]; then
   . /etc/default/mythtv-backend
fi

if [ "$USER" = "" ]; then
   CMDPREFIX=""
else
   CMDPREFIX="sudo -u $USER"
fi

$CMDPREFIX /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl

/usr/bin/logger -p daemon.info -i -t${0##*/} "$DBNAME checked and backed up."

# End of file.

the changed code is:

if [ -e "/etc/default/mythtv-backend" ]; then
   . /etc/default/mythtv-backend
fi

if [ "$USER" = "" ]; then
   CMDPREFIX=""
else
   CMDPREFIX="sudo -u $USER"
fi

$CMDPREFIX /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl
