 (a mail about this issue has also been sent to the mythtv-user-mailing
 list: http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2009-May/256245.html)

 I'm using Debian Sqeeze/Sid and the mythtv-backend runs as a user
 "mythtv", the frontend as my regular user.

 Files (recordings) get saved on /mnt/recordings/mythtv, which is a local
 mounted filesystem (ext4). user:group of this dir is mythtv:mythtv and
 files created by the backend usually get permission 644. since my local
 user is also in the group "mythtv", everything works well (so even a 640
 would be enough). but here's the first problem: sometimes a file is
 created with permissions 600. this happens to recordings, live-tv-files
 and even transcoded files (.nuv). playing them in mythfrontend is not
 possible and i have to chmod 644 them manually - which sucks having to
 do so every time. i searched for that problem by google a few times
 already and found only one post saying to restart mythtv-backend and new
 files will again have 644. this works, until the issue happens again...
 is there anything i can to to force permission 644 on newly created files?
 the file-permission should be constant at least, not changing from time to
 time.
