[mythtv-users] mythvideo doesn't see files

All,

I recently had my 5 year old backend die.  I rebuilt it using a new
server and upgraded to .24.  Watching TV and recordings is okay on my
separate frontend, but I can't seem to get 'videos' to work properly
with storage groups.  I've read the docs 100 times, and it seems
pretty simple, but I can't seem to get it to work regardless of what I
do.

my master backend has my videos/fanart/screenshots/etc directories
located in /data/mythtv/<dir>.  When I scan for changes from the
frontend the log says:

MythVideo::ScanVideoDirectory Scanning Group
(myth://Videos@T110/data/mythtv/videos/)

which all seems right, but it never returns anything.  I installed the
frontend on my backend server to see if it would see it locally, but
that doesn't help either.  I thought it might be a permissions issue,
so I 777'd the entire /data directory recursively, but that didn't
help either.

Any ideas?  Am I just missing something simple?

thanks,
Matt
