Yes, that is correct.  Myth will search all Storage Group directories if
it does not find the file in the Storage Group it expects the file to be in.

Eventually you'll be able to do this from within Myth and eventually it
will optionally move files automatically for you in order to keep free
space balanced among directories.  I've got the 'move' part of this code
working via a new builtin job in the JobQueue, but haven't put in any of
the glue for it yet and it's taken a back seat to other things on my
TODO list right now.
