Thank you for clarifying this.  I don't use MythMusic or MythVideo at
this time.  I do use mythgallery so will need to setup NFS for that.  

I am also considering setting up NFS for the recordings directory since
I have a TB of space on the master backend system.  

As I understand this now the NFS for recordings is not required but
allows one to keep all the recordings on one system.
