As you have nautilus access to backend storage we assume you have
shares.. 
It is (supposed to be) very bad to have the frontend mythvideo
(optional) paths overlapping with the backend storage.
You can still have private folder for each local frontend.

Do you have some NFS/samba share that causes this overlap?
Maybe your share translates some filenames or only has partial overlap.
