Nothing there says it found and loaded it, only that it is able to  
construct the name that the backend should have.

If /usr/lib/cups/backend/filewrite actually exists and is executable,  
the next thing to check is that the first line (#!...) points to  
something that exists.  Bash in particular reports "No such file or  
directory" with no indication that it's the #! line that is wrong (and  
also reports it if the problem is that the program indicated isn't  
executable or various other failure modes).
