Don't worry about the proc stuff. It's a very transient area of storage in
some parts. The bits you are seeing errors on are probably due to
processes that terminate between the beginning of your command and the
end.

As for your problem, I would suggest picking up on 2 bits of advice
already posted earlier.

1) Ditch the bind mounting and use the device name mounted on 2 different
mount points, so mount /dev/sdb2 twice, once on each required location.
The alternative would be to simply create a symbolic link ln -s /mnt/sdb2
/mythlibrary. I dislike nested mounts, as they can get messy if the mounts
occur in the wrong order for some reason. You haven't actually explained
_why_ you are mounting it twice, and it may be better to simplify your
setup and remove one of the locations altogether!

2) Don't tell myth to create files in the top level directory of a mount
point. I mount /myth/storage1 and configure myth to write to
/myth/storage1/video. The video directory only exists when the partition
is mounted, so recordings will fail if the partition is not mounted.
