Actually, any respectable *nix system has been able to handle paths with 
multiple directory separators for many, many, many, many years now.  If 
your backend were on some other OS, I wouldn't be surprised to see 
issues from it, but Myth's backend won't work on that OS, so that's not 
the issue...  :)
