Or, just use mythrename.pl --link...  I have my system set up to run it 
5 different times every half hour, creating 5 different directories 
sorted differently.  And, mythrename.pl --link will give you good 
filenames /after/ the copy--meaning that when you throw them on the 
laptop, you'll know which shows to watch and in what order.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/331410#331410 has the 
script I run and explains the sorting.
