some success but confusion.  I copied the .mkv test video from the ftp 
link above to /var/lib/mythtv and set the owner/group to mythtv. This 
afternoon I created /var/lib/mythtv and in mythtv-setup I assigned all 
the Storage Groups to that directory. I first tested mythfrontend -> 
Media Library -> videos and was able to play the video via frontend.  
Then I went in to mythfrontend setup and in wizard the video played this 
time without trying to download.  It is not looking in .mythtv/tmp anymore.

I still think there is an environment variable or define not right on a 
build from source system, that is there in PPA builds.
