Just tried.
Stopped Myth and moved the recordings from /mnt/store to /Myth.
I edited the RecordFilePrefix to `/Myth` and restarted the backend (just
one, on same box as the frontend). Then I browsed some recordings:

Again a filename is abused as a path.
Why is this happening? Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
