Yes.

No.

It's a BE/FE machine.  What's in Storage Groups under mythtv-setup 
matches what's in the paths under video setup.  It was set up that way 
under 0.25 and it worked fine.  If I need to delete one or the other, 
which?

Thanks.  Did this per your instructions.  Unfortunately, no difference.
I appreciate the reply, though!
