Not to my knowledge, but rather than that, even though I don't currently
use Storage Groups for mythvideo, I have a nightly cron job (you can
make yours run as often as you'd like) that does the following on my
mbe:
	mount my video dirs (they're automounted, but I want to be sure!)
	chown -R mythfrontend:mythtv <videomount1> [<videomount2> etc...]
	mysql -e 'update mythconverg.videometadata set showlevel = 4 where
`filename` like "%/homemovies/%"'
	mysql -e 'update mythconverg.videometadata set inetref = 99999999 where
`filename` like "%/homemovies/%"'

This way, they get set automatically, and with the 99999999 in inetref,
Jamu doesn't attempt to categorize them...

In other words, I didn't need myth to do it for me... just a little fine
tuning.. ;)
