Does backend user have read permission for the photos ? <br>
And execute permission on the directories ?<br>
<br>
Are you sure the backend has actually been re-started
after setting the<br>
storage group ? If you've recently upgraded to Ubuntu
16.04 the<br>
mythtv-setup dialog could be lying.<br>

<div>And indeed it apparently was lying, since even though
mythtv-setup told me it was stopping and starting the
backend, the running mythbackend was still the same
instance that had been running since I rebooted last week.</div>
<div>Restarting the backend for real fixed the issue.
Thanks!</div>
<div>So is this an issue with mythtv-setup, mythbackend, or
Ubuntu itself?</div>

The mythtv-setup issue of not stopping mythtv-backend has been
reported see trac ticket <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/13160">https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/13160</a>
(has patch)<br>
<br>
<br>
Temporary work around is to use in a termina for operating systems
using systemd (Ubuntu, Debian Stretch)l:<br>
<br>
#to stop mythtv-backend before using mythtv-setup<br>
<br>
sudo systemctl stop mythtv-backend.service<br>
<br>
#to start mythtv-backend after using mythtv-setup<br>
<br>
sudo systemctl start mythtv-backend.service<br>
<br>
<br>
There is a further problem on Ubuntu 18.04 and others in that gksu
has been removed see trac ticket
