How are you accessing your movies directories?  Are you using storage
groups, or the old directory list, or both?  What do these queries
show in your database:

select * from storagegroup where groupname='Videos';
select * from settings where value='VideoStartupDir';

These settings are found in the GUI in:

mythtvsetup > 7. Storage Directories > 'Videos' Storage Group
Directories
mythfrontend > Setup > Media Settings > Videos Settings > General
Settings > Directories that hold videos

The VideoStartupDir settings are per frontend and relative to that
frontend.  The Videos storage group directories are global to your
MythTV system and relative to your backend(s).
