--------------------------------------+---------------------
 I've had a persistent issue for about a year where the master backend
 will try to record to a directory listed in the storage group that
 isn't present on that system.  The only way I've been able to get the
 system to work is to mount the directory using NFS, however I would
 prefer to have it work without doing that.

 I have the storage group defined on the master backend with the following:

 /var/mythtv/tv/recordings/
 /var/mythtv/tv2/recordings/
 /var/mythtv/tv3/recordings/
 /var/tv/recordings/
 /var/tv2/recordings/

 The first three directories are on the master backend and the last two are
 on
 the slave backend.  Nothing is defined on the slave backend.  My
 understanding is that the master backend will realize that the last
 two directories do not exist on that system and not use them, however,
 on my system, it repeatedly tries to anyway.

 I have tried removing all storage group information and re-entering it
 with no difference.

 I posted my issue on the mythtv-users mailing list and Michael Dean asked
 me to provide some details which I have included below.

 master backend:

 Here is the storage group table:

 | 19 | Banners     | mythbox  | /var/mythtv/artwork/banners/     |
 +----+-------------+----------+----------------------------------+

 He requested that I run the backend with the parameters  -v file,schedule
 --loglevel debug.  The error appeared pretty quickly. I have attached the
 log file.

 I cut off the log file right after the error appeared. Please let me know
 if you need any additional information.
