Looking happier.  I now have an essentially default FE/BE configuration 
and

mysql -umythtv -pmythtv mythconverg -e "SELECT * FROM storagegroup ;"

shows only the box hostname, and one remote LiveTV hostname that I 
haven't yet made go away.  But when I scan for videos (and at present my 
Video folder holds the output from mythlink, which is easy to clear and 
regenerate) it still fails to scan an old local-localhostname and the 
frontend log lists files in that SG that correspond to recordings that 
have recently been deleted.  It tells me it's not removing them.

Perhaps I need to transfer ownership of those, too, by updating the 
table that corresponds to 'recorded' but for Videos?  I've looked here 
but don't see an obvious candidate.
