One way of grabbing the full path for the file:

***************

me at myth $ perl -e 'use MythTV;
my $basename=shift;
my $myth = new MythTV();
$connect = $myth->{'dbh'};
my $storagegroup = new MythTV::StorageGroup();
$dir = $storagegroup->FindRecordingFile($basename);
print "DIR=$dir\n"' \
"${RECORDING_CHAN}_${RECORDING_DATE}.mpg"

DIR=/media/mythtv/recordings/1001_20080924213800.mpg

***************

cheers,
Owen.
