Chances are that MythTV is reading or writing to "/video", or that it  
simply has that directory locked.

Have you stopped all the Myth services (mythbackend?) before doing this?

Worst case scenario, if you can't determine which program or service  
is locking the directory, is to boot to single-user mode to undertake  
this task.
