renaming on the prompt you do with mv. So mv <old name> <new name>.
With this command rights are unaffected, but to be sure check the
right named recording is owned by the mythtv-user and has at least 644
rights (readable by everybody and writable by the user)
If the right named recording is pressent again, mythtv will
automatically notice this.
