OK on that explanation but....

e.g. if I have a "CSI" recording on the MBE drive but a different "CSI" recording
that i want to encode that is on the slave drive, nuvexport fails because
it tries to find the location of _every_ "CSI" recording in the db.

It would be nice if nuvexport would let me choose from those "CSI" titles
it can actually access from the slave drive rather than stop as it does
now when it can't find a file just because its in the db and on another drive.

So just search for those titles in the db that also have the same hostname
as the slave. I just want to encode the titles that are on the slave
drive and ignore the similar titles (if any) that are on the MBE drive.
