As long as the mythtv user or group can write the the Storage Directory,
you're golden. Typically, it's owner and group are mythtv:mythtv.

Could by that you're running mythtv-setup as yourself, not user mythtv.
You can safely ignore the message if mythtv can write to the directory
(and needn't make it world writable.)
