 Hi!

 mythrename.pl renames my recordings just fine. However, I nfs-mounted the
 recordings directory of the master backend to my slave backend (to a
 separate directory) and symlinked the MBE recordings to the SBE recordings
 directory.

 mythrename.pl will rename these symlinks as well and change the 'basename'
 field, but the file names for the recordings will stay the same on the
 MBE. This effectively breaks my ability to watch the shows recorded on the
 master backend since the MBE will look for the wrong filename.

 I think mythrename.pl should either verify that a file name actually
 belongs to the host where the script is run ('hostname' field) or not mess
 with symlinks. It may be necessary/good to check it against the
 'LocalHostName' in mysql.txt (if it's there), but I'm not sure if
 mythbackend actually honors this setting.

 It'd be nice if someone (xris? ;)) could take a look at this. I can
 provide further information if needed.

 Thanks in advance,

 Michael 'laga' Haas
