Thanks to all for responding.

I open backend setup, close backend and then go to "main menu" and 
"storage directories". "Default" takes me to "add storage directories" 
page. I type in /home/mythtv/storage (home/mythtv does exist). I click 
"ok" which takes me back to "add storage directories page". There is no 
way to exit this page (there is no "next" or "finish" button at the 
bottom of the page) except to use "esc" button which takes me back to 
the beginning of "backend setup".
