[mythtv-users] The file for this recording can not be found Remove Highlighting

I just recently migrated my mythfrontend & backend (on the same  
machine) to Ubuntu and have the exact same problem.  I think it was a  
permission problem on my computer.

I have a hard drive mounted at /video.  This mount point had  
permissions of:
drwxrwxrw- root root /video

I changed the group to mythtv:
$ sudo chgrp mythtv video
To get:
drwxrwxrw- root mythtv /video

I can now see my shows and they are no longer reporting as missing.
