Mytharchive is supposed to run on a backend machine only.  It needs
recordfileprefix for the particular hostname where it is run.  However you
can cheat by running a mysql command:


insert into settings (value, data, hostname) VALUES
('RecordFilePrefix','/mnt/VIDEO', 'mybedroom');

and nfs mounting the video directory to your frontend machine
