Thanks for your suggestions, but of course I checked the permissions
before writing here. I even changed the permissions of all recordings to
666 and 777 for the directory. The mythtv user can write to that
directory and it records just fine.

If it would be a permission problem, then mythtv  would not record at
all and it would affect all recordings, not only 900 out of 1600.

There must be something else going on.
