Not sure but it looks like the recordingpath variable isn't being set 
for some reason. It is set from  from the 'RecordFilePrefix' setting 
that is read from the database. I'd start by checking the db query used 
to get the settings is returning sane values.

select value, data from settings where value in ('DBSchemaVer') or 
(hostname='YOUR_HOST_NAME' and value in(
'RecordFilePrefix',  'VideoStartupDir',  'GalleryDir',  
'MusicLocation',  'MythArchiveVideoFormat',  'MythArchiveTempDir',
'MythArchiveFfmpegCmd',  'MythArchiveMplexCmd',  
'MythArchiveDvdauthorCmd', 'MythArchiveMkisofsCmd',
'MythArchiveTcrequantCmd',  'MythArchiveMpg123Cmd',  
'MythArchiveProjectXCmd',  'MythArchiveDVDLocation',
'MythArchiveGrowisofsCmd',  'MythArchivePng2yuvCmd',  
'MythArchiveSpumuxCmd',  'MythArchiveMpeg2encCmd',
'ISO639Language0',  'ISO639Language1')) order by value;

Change YOUR_HOST_NAME to match the hostname you use.
