File system permissions?  Remember that NFS uses uid/gid instead of 
username/group name.  So, if the recordings are owned by mythtv:mythtv 
on the Myth box where uid and gid = 1001 and the mythtv user on your 
main PC is 1002, the "other" permissions will be used (and other most 
likely doesn't have write access).
