I hesitated to post before as I'm running 20.2, not svn.  However, it 
seems clear to me that the problem is in accessing the file.  Is the 
machine 192.168.36.60 your backend?  Are you sure there are no typos 
in the setup for storage directories?

Is your new frontend on the same network segment as the one that 
works? Static IP address for the backend?  I have set up a "Custom 
identifier" for my front end machine 
(MythFrontend->Setup->General->Database configuration 2/2).  I'd like 
to understand better when and why this setting should be used, but it 
seems it can't hurt.

Some things to try...
