Moving a file between backends is different than moving between Storage
Groups.  You should update the hostname so that Myth can ask the proper
backend to delete the file when necessary.  As long as the file is put into
an already-configured Storage Group directory on the destination backend
then Myth will be able to find the file.  The need to update the hostname
pre-dates Storage Groups, you should always do that.
