When I try sudo chown mythtv:mythtv /media/media/TV_Shows/*I get permission denied.  The mount in etc/fstab for the NAS is:
//192.168.0.250/media /media/media cifs user=mythtv,password=myth_password 0 0 
I had to give the user mythtv a password for this to work originally.  The network drive mounts and I can do stuff on the drive as my user which is UID 1000 on both systems.  mythtv user is different now.
