Nick,
    If you mount your recording partitions on the front end over nfs or 
smb, mytharchive works again.
I think it has to be the same path as on the backend
my example, my backend has two raids mounted at /disk1 and /disk2, my 
recordings are under /disk1/video and /disk2/video

My frontend also has nfs mounts to the same /disk1 and /disk2


Hope this helps,
