[mythtv-users] nfslockfile.lock

I have all my movies on a central server which runs mysql and the 
myth-backend.

Sometime in the installation process, the backend decided to put a 
nfslockfile.lock in my movies directory.  This is a minor nit, except 
that I want my movies to be mounted read-only, and the backend won't 
start if it can't access the nfslockfile.lock...

/data/seiner/mythtv/movies/nfslockfile.lock: No such file or directory
Unable to open lockfile!
Be sure that '/data/seiner/mythtv/movies' exists and that both
the directory and that file are writeable by this user.

Any way to tell mythbackend to use a lock file in, say, /var/lock?
