I started the backend using the requested log parameters this morning
and it tried recording to a non-existent directory fairly quickly
(unfortunately I didn't get a chance to check it until this evening
after it had failed about a dozen recordings, but luckily they were
all the kid's shows).  I cut off the log file right after the error
appeared.  Here is the log file:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1782800/mythbackend_storage_group_error.log

Let me know if you can figure out what is causing this error.  I've
assumed it was some stupid user error for a long time, but I've never
been able to figure out what was causing it and everything seems to be
correct to me.  I truly appreciate your help in this.

Thanks!
