Matt, does your disk configuration sound similar to mine (as described 
in the ticket http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3392 , the line "For 
reference, I have 2 dedicated backends and one remote frontend. Each 
backend has its own storage and I am not using any network filesystems 
to share files." ).  If so, what happens when you apply the patch on 
that ticket?
