You could use "rsync -rL --delete /path/with/nicenames/ /destination/"
to copy your recordings to /destination and create your NFS share there.
With a bit of scripting you could maybe hardlink to the original files
with the option --link-dest instead of copying and using additional
space on your hard disk.
