I've had mythfrontend running overnight with -v all, and checking the
logins on the windows machine it seems to be the theme update checker
that's causing the videos storage group to be accessed. Bizarre!

Typical log:

Does anyone know why it's behaving like this? And even better - how to
stop it looking where it shouldn't? (Checking for themes hourly seems
a little excessive in any case)
I'm going to have another go without storage groups and see if that
behaves any better (so hopefully the theme engine won't have a clue
about the existence of the video directory!)
