 Mythvidexport.py fails with downloadfile_directory_not_found when there is
 no directory matching the storage group in the database for Fanart and
 Coverart on the slave backend hosting the video to be exported.

 The effect is if the video targeted for export resides on a slave backend,
 the export job will fail.

 A debug log on the slave shows the sql search in "FindEmptyStorageGroup"
 is limited to the slave backend hostname.

 A minimal fix is to document that a local storage directory on each slave
 backend for fanart and coverart must exist, or this script will fail.  A
 real fix is to create a debug message that explains what to do, as those
 without programming skills have no hope of figuring out what to do in
 response to such an obscure failure message.

 Notice also that this script is included by default in the job list for
 the backend, but the script itself does not appear to be installed in the
 directory named there  /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/userjobs/...
