Wow, you have a directory for seagal, as in Steven Seagal?  That's awesome
that he counts as a Genre.

I've used a similar setup in the past; storing my video collection on a
separate machine, and now it works similar, but it's on a RAID array in the
same machine.  I simply have mythvideo set to use "/store/Media/Video/"
which then contains:

/documentaries
/episodes
/movies
/music video

and it seems to find the files just fine.  So while I offer little in terms
of actual help, I can tell you that in my case, it works the way you
describe you think it should work.
