Is it writing to the 500G partition or /var/lib/mythtv/recordings? Does 
the slave have appropriate permissions for the 500G partition?
I remember having similar issue when I configured a slave backend, that 
went away when I added the mount points to a storage group on the slave 
backend (which is opposite to what the Docs/Devs will tell you to do)
     My slave backend has no local storage, all storage is mounted by 
NFS from the MBE with the exact same path.   Works for me.

My storagegroup table looks like:

groupname    hostname    dirname
Default            mbe              /data/mbe/sata1/recordings/
Default            mbe              /data/mbe/sata2/recordings/
...
Default            mbe              /data/mbe/sata6/recordings/
Default            sbe               /data/mbe/sata1/recordings/
Default            sbe               /data/mbe/sata2/recordings/
...
