When run on a remote host, mythtv-setup will still check to see if any
valid storage groups are /defined/ (such that directories are available
on this host). That means that if you set up your storage groups
properly on the master backend (specifying directories that are
available on your remote backend), you won't be prompted to "fix" your
storage directories.
Remember, you cannot define a storage group on the remote backend--you
can /only/ override the directory list from the definition on the master
backend. I.e. you can only say, "The master backend SG definition is
wrong." So just make the master backend definition correct, and all
will work.
