Basically, the majority of what you want is for mythbackend to become a 
generic file server?  I don't really want to spend more of my time 
duplicating the functionality of nfs or samba, that seems silly to me.  Feel 
free to submit a patch, though -- the vast majority of the code is already 
there, used for remote TV viewing and transferring things like the channel 
icons for the program guide.  Should be extremely easy to extend that to the 
other modules/plugins.
