  :( Unfortunately it didn't.
I've undone the NFS export settings as they don't seem to work either :s
What I don't understand is this, if it's done the SG-way it cannot acces 
the file even though mythfrontend etc can access it.
Using mythutil --copyfile --infile myth://blah.mpg --outfile bla.mpg I 
can copy the file as well, which makes me believe it's not an error in 
python-bindings.(right?)
