	With the Recordings PATH (vs just one directory) you also open
up the possibility of spreading files across the entire home network. You
could even give particular files (recordings/mp3/dvd rip) affinity for a
particular directory on the network.

	My current MythVideo setup ls cobbled together with multiple
directories with symlinks and I could easily set it up so that NFS
mountpoints in systems other than my backend myth box are included.
