Also make sure the files are mounted in the same place on all
frontends to reduce the amount of things that can go wrong. For
instance, if your music files are in /var/lib/mythtv/music on your
combo box and mounted to /mythtv/music on all your other frontends and
the setting says to use /mythtv/music, that would explain why they can
all access the files and your combo box's frontend cannot. A symlink
would fix that problem.
