Because the 2 drives' statistics are identical (capacity, available and 
used space and such), MythTV is erring on the side of caution and 
considering them a single drive.  To "fix" it, just change the stats...

dd if=/dev/zero of=/store1/garbage_file bs=64M count=1

(or just wait for the next recording to happen on one of the disks).
