I think I'm going to have to stop my 'help' on this.  Let's recap. Now 
that you aren't using nfs, mythburn.py within MythArchive is looking 
without success for things like

'myth://192.168.1.5:6543/1002_20121025205000.mpg'

but from the command line mythburn.py did find

"/mnt/video/1026_20121026205000.mpg"

If that's still a fair summary of the problem maybe someone else will be 
able to suggest other things to try.  Good luck!
