Recordings on slave backends will fall through to storage directories 
defined on the master backend, if there are none defined locally.  In 
0.25, Video directories duplicate this behavior, however you still need 
to perform a scan before any content will show up in MythVideo.  In 
0.22-0.24, the Videos directories must be defined in mythtv-setup on 
each slave backend which is to host content.
