Never directly copy a database.  You want to export to text, and then 
import back in to the new database server.  There are binary 
incompatibilities between database versions, and even different builds.  
This extra step just ensures there will be no problems.

MythTV always records to the root of the storage group, and it will be 
able to find a recording anywhere, so long as that directory is listed 
as a storage group directory.  There is no need to mount the disks at 
the same point.
