You have a number of options.  Probably the easiest is simply to 
NFS/SAMBA mount the disk space from your fileserver to the MythTV system 
and have it record to that folder.  No need to have MythTV on the 
fileserver itself since it will only be providing disk space.  This will 
also make it easy for you in the future if you add more frontends or 
backends as they can all mount the same disk partition and save their 
files in the same place.
