Does the backend only check for valid directories at startup?  With
the log settings you provided I can see that the backend did a check
and had the right settings, with a statement that it wouldn't use the
/var/tv and /var/tv2 directories.  I haven't seen it attempt to record
to one of them yet, however I'm having trouble viewing the log now
that it is over 183MB.

I'm assuming I must have messed up by having the backend start while
having the NFS mounts in place and then removing the mounts without
restarting the backend.  I'll feel pretty stupid if I've been doing
that repeatedly, but I wouldn't be too surprised.

Here is the storage group table:
 +----+-------------+----------+----------------------------------+
| id | groupname   | hostname | dirname                          |
+----+-------------+----------+----------------------------------+
|  9 | Default     | mythbox  | /var/mythtv/tv/recordings/       |
| 12 | Default     | mythbox  | /var/tv/recordings/              |
| 10 | Default     | mythbox  | /var/mythtv/tv2/recordings/      |
| 11 | Default     | mythbox  | /var/mythtv/tv3/recordings/      |
| 14 | Default     | mythbox  | /var/tv2/recordings/             |
