Thanks for your help Doug.

I am now having the following output from jamu, can you help?:

version info: Title: (JAMU - Just.Another.Metadata.Utility); Version:
(v0.7.7); Author: (R.D.Vaughan)

mythtv at media:~$ /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MVf

==========================================================================================
Listed below are the types and base directories Jamu will use for processing.
The list reflects your current configuration for the 'media' back end
and whether a directory is a 'SG' (storage group) or not.
Note: All directories are from settings in the MythDB specific to
hostname (media).
Note: Screenshot directories are not listed as Jamu does not process
Screenshots.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type: Fan art     - SG-YES - Directory: (/mnt/videos1/fanart)
Type: Video       - SG-YES - Directory: (/mnt/videos1/videos)
Type: Cover art   - SG-YES - Directory: (/mnt/videos1/coverart)
Type: Banners     - SG-YES - Directory: (/mnt/videos1/banners)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a directory you set from a separate Front end is not displayed it means
that the directory is not accessible from this backend OR
you must add the missing directories using the Front end on this Back end.
Front end settings are host machine specific.
