It looks like the "Seektable" is broken for this file. Check the
Database to make sure the table's not corrupted (mysqlchk), and try
using MythCommflag to regenerate the seektables (see "mythcommflag
--help" for instructions). This should fix your problem. If not... see
below.

Also, how large is "Large". If you are using NFS, it could be
something to do with NFS versions and 2Gb boundaries. Check your NFS
configuration, and try forcing both server and client to use NFSv3.
