I'm assuming the idea is that the master directory would contain
nothing but symlinks to the other directories somewhere else.
Then you point myth at only the master.

I'd use a combination of find ... -exec or maybe even find | xargs.
That should be a one-line script you can just reinvoke whenever necessary.
If you haven't used those before, I or someone else could come up with
a plausible example.  (I'm assuming all of these dirs are on the same
machine, or at least that you're using NFS between them if that's not
the case.)

E.g., "find dir1 dir2 -type f -exec ...."  [See also -execdir.]
