That won't do a damn thing.  Mythtv does not automatically add spurious 
files it finds in the recording directory to the recordings list.  There 
are scripts that facilitate adding videos into the recordings list, but 
its not particularly straight forward.

Use the mythvideo plugin instead.  Follow the same directions steve 
gave, but give the directory to mythvideo in the frontend settings, 
rather than the storage group in mythtv-setup.
