As Mike finally realized (and as posted earlier in the thread):
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/280852#280852

But, it goes beyond the setup stage because storage groups can change
outside of Myth--i.e. directory names stay the same, but the volumes
mounted in those locations change.  So, it just plain won't work reliably.
