? I don't understand your comment. At all. Mythtv stores files in the 
directories specified in the "storage directories" menu in mythtv-setup for 
every back end.

What I don't understand is why you'd want to laboriously copy your files to 
another directory, and then symlink them back to the original directory just so 
that myth can find them, when you could just ask myth to store them in the other 
directory in the first place.
