[mythtv-users] mythtv-setup: trailing "/" while setting up Storage Groups

Fiddling around with the various options to get the directories running
as Storage Groups suddenly brought success! First I deleted the default
storage group. Then I defined the new one as the first one
at /multimedia/mythtv/recordings and a second one at /multimedia/mythtv
(which was the default one in the first place after changing to LVM).
Exiting the mythtv-setup gave me the known error of not being able to
write to the specified directory.
Then in a second run of mythtv-setup I deleted the former default
at /multimedia/mythtv (the second entry). After these changes I could
exit without error messages!!! Changes took place like normal, all
directories are saved as storage groups and do their jobs. 
Strange, but, well, it works ;-)

Greets and thanks to all involved,
Sebastian
