Not a correct way really, just the way *I* prefer to do it.  I get 
confused easily, and I've been known to forget that a filesystem 
is nfs mounted.  No way I can do it this way...

It should work.  If both frontends (local and remote) are pointing 
to the exact same path, all should be fine.  What you described 
certainly sounded like one was over-writing the other.

Did you try to enter the IMDB stuff on the remote frontend, or 
just the local frontend?  When you did this, did you look in the 
mythconverg database to see exactly how the video was 
being seen by that frontend?
