Right now I have:

/mnt :
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 May  5 18:15 mnt/

/mnt/nfs :
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 May  6 01:06 nfs/

/mnt/nfs/mythtv :
drwxrwx---+ 12 mythtv users 4096 May  4 18:52 mythtv/

/mnt/nfs/mythtv/recordings :
drwxrwx---+  2 mythtv users 20480 May 15 23:13 recordings/

Thanks,
Geoff
