 Myth is failing to resolve relative symlinks.

 In my setup, I have my recordings stored in /media/record, and an NFS-
 mounted folder at /media/nfs to move them to when the main HD becomes to
 full. I create symlinks like:

   something.nuv -> ../nfs/something.nuv

 Here's the output of 'mythbackend -v file':

 2006-08-11 08:17:22.991 About to unlink/delete file:
 '/media/record/3332_20060518165900.nuv'

 /media/record/3332_20060518165900.nuv. Keeping metadata in database.

 This suggests that Myth is trying to delete the file using ".." in the
 path, which is incorrect because mythbackend was not started in
 /media/record. To confirm this theory, I stopped mythbackend, cd'd to
 /media/record, restarted it, and then deleted the recording. It worked.
