good point.  this gets less convenient with nfsv4, though, which i am using -- 
so i have to go the symlink route.

i am wondering why things like movie posters, or non-recording videos need to 
have the full path in the db?  couldn't the settings relating to a host have 
the "prefix to the posters"... value in the db.  we do have to set it anyway, 
but i wish it wouldn't store the whole value, just the 0123456.jpg or 
whatever.
