So given a setup with two backend systems (master backend has the
database) and the slave backend uses NFS to mount the recordings
directory how does Myth keep track of recordings?  Is the location of
each recording kept in the database?  

If the NFS mount is subsequently removed so the slave backend now uses
local storage will the recordings made by the slave backend prior to
this change be inaccessible because the database thinks they are local
to the slave but they are really on the NFS system?
