Why not just use the remote machine as a nfs server.
Share its disk, and mount that on your Frontend/Backend
and use that moun as your myth database.  Its
a minimual change, because you don't even have to mess
with your myth setup.

First mount the nfs share in some temp mount point, and
copy your mythtv files to it, then delete them fromt he
FE/BE and mount the remote machines shared directory
right over the old myth file location with the same names
etc.
