Once the files have been processed once by mythvideo, they tend to
stay like that in the database, as a name change doesn't affect the
hash of the file, which is what mythvideo uses to detect changes. It
might pay to purge them all from the database (I tend to do this
manually through the command line (with a very careful check first to
make sure my search terms are right), do the name change and then
rescan.
