If you check for hostname with the query, we won't get links to 
recordings recorded on other backends, even if the file exists on the 
filesystem (i.e. multiple backends share a recordings directory using 
NFS).  Since mythrename.pl checks for the existence of the file before 
creating the link, we shouldn't need to do this check.  As is, we 
(should) only get links to recordings that are available through the 
filesystem and recordings whose filies are not available are (should be) 
ignored.

If there's a specific problem/error you're trying to fix, more info 
would be nice...  :)
