[mythtv-users] storage groups NFS folder permissions

I'm trying to use a new storage group that is located on a separate server
from my mythtv backend, and I'm having trouble. I'm trying to record the
Olympics in a folder separate from my normal recordings, because of the
large files created. I created a storage group in a folder that I believe
is writable from by anyone, but any recordings I've set to record to this
group fail to record. Myth says it recorded the show, but when I try to
watch it, it says the file cannot be found. When i look in the folder where
the files should be, there is nothing there. I assume this has something to
do with folder permissions, or something like that, but I can't seem to find
any mention of it in the wiki. Any hints?
Is there any way to test if a storage group is active, and functioning;
other than to see that a recording failed? If I VNC to my backend machine,
I can copy a file from the desktop of that machine to the folder I want to
use to store my recordings, so it seems that I can write to the folder. How
else can I test to see that Myth can write to the folder? I've granted
read/write permissions to all users, and the mythtv user, so I'm not sure
what else I'm missing.
