done. however, it has made things slightly worse.
the 'Video' view in mythweb, no longer displays all titles in all
subfolders as tiles (it still shows the folder structure on the left
side though).

also, it has re-created some symbolic links, but to the same (invalid) location.

 ls -n
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 33 33 4096 2011-11-15 19:36 tv_icons
lrwxrwxrwx 1 33 33   22 2011-11-15 19:36 video -> /var/lib/mythtv/videos
lrwxrwxrwx 1 33 33   23 2011-11-15 19:36 video_covers -> /data2/mythtv/trailers/

the 'video' link is the one in question here, it should be pointing to
/data2/mythtv/videos/.
