I am not using an NFS.  I've got a Mythbuntu backend without anything 
fancy.  I've got two drives that are used for storing videos, and that's 
managed through storage groups.  My frontend uses the normal mythtv user 
and password.  The directories used for the storage groups are owned 
(owner and group) by the mythtv user.  I just double-checked, and 
discovered that some of the files (including the movie I had trouble 
watching referenced in my original post) had a user and group of the 
login user on the backend.  I assume this is because I copied the file 
from my desktop PC where I ripped it from DVD.  I've fixed those 
permissions. However, that movie is still giving me the "Could not read 
first 2048" message.  I did scan for changes before testing that.

However, the permissions on the livetv directories are all set to 
mythtv, so I don't think that is the problem there.
