Some ideas:

i) Have you changed your hostname/IP at all?
ii) Run mythbackend with the '-v important,general,file,record' and
start a recording - the log output may well include extra details on
why the file is missing.
iii) Are you mounting filesytems below /data, or is /data and all
sub-directories on the same partition?
iv) What is the output of 'ls -lRa /data'? Have you been able to
successfully record anything?
