So I stoppedmythTV (back and front).
I unmounted the partition and mounted it on the new location: /MythTV.
Then I changed RecordFilePrefix to /MythTV/ and restarted mythbackend.
Then I went into MythWeb: http://recorder/mythweb/tv/recorded which did
not show anything.
mythbackend.log has stuff like:

So the new path is used but MythTV is doing strange stuff to the
filenames  (using them as path?).
Is this a bug?
Is this user error?

Please help!
