Yes, the destination directory exists. Yes, the user has adequate permissions.Yes, the destination directory is in the storage group definitions  (/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/ is the default location in Mythbuntu)No, the result I get is NOT an error message. It is the print response, in the script, after the copy command to put the files in the destination directory. It's not an error handler.
Yes, if I purposefully change the permissions or sent to a non-existent destination folder, I DO receive an appropriate error .
