About that 'sudo chown -R mythtv /media/storage'

If there is also stil an old OS on that volume be sure to exclude that
be running it higher up the tree. Also be sure that the intermediate
directories have other set to rx ie ??5 in binary. To set that on a
directory run: sudo chmod o+rx <directory>
