[mythtv-users] Disk not accepted as part of storage group

I have set up a new MythTV backend on MythBuntu. The system disk is on a
2.5" 250GB disk. This disk is also used for storing recordings.
The system also contains a second disk. This is a 1TB disk. This disk is
mounted on /media/1TB/.
My "default" storage group setup contains two directories:
/var/lib/mythtv/recordings/ <-- on the 250GB
/media/1TB/recordings/ <-- on the 1TB

But when the backend starts, I see this in the log file:
SG(Default) Warning: Group 'Default' references directory
'/media/1TB/recordings/' but this directory does not exist.  This directory
will not be used on this server.

I have copied the path from the log file and I am able to enter this
directory, so it is not a typo. So why on earth is this directory rejected?

Bonus info:
The directory looks like it has the same permissions as the one on the 250GB
disk:
drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythtv  4096 2010-01-12 22:25 recordings

I use ext4 on both disks.
