I'm not sure on the appropriate solution for this one as of yet. I acknowledge the issue at hand, and provide this as a workaround: When you log out, you can log in as your normal user. Running mythtv-setup will spawn the helper script to put you into the mythtv group. You will log out once more, and again log in as a normal user. Now you can run mythtv-setup from this user's account. If you have a better suggestion for how to solve this problem, feel free to post it here.
