You should check the ownership and permissions of the parent directories
back to the root from the real location, i.e. from:
/mnt/f9d5db19-7551-41dd-ba43-9c07f0a8305e/home/mythtv back to /.  The
ownership isn't so important, but you'll want r-x for 'other' on each
parent directory permission.

Cheers, Ian
