Hi Mike and thanks for your reply! :)

As a matter of fact, the directories/files I'm having problems with are
all shared on a LAN via NFS: the HTPC is configured as server while my
desktop PC as client.

I usually move files from the PC (Linux) to the HTPC by using my OS file
manager and the problem is that I can't delete those files in MythVideo.

So, what should I do now to fix it?

Thanks!

Alan
