[mythtv-users] unable to record to local ext4 partition

i've done some changes with how my mythtv is configured, which includes a
change in storage directory location onto another HDD.
however, every time i try to record, mythtv will start the recording but it
will not actually write to a file... i suspect it is a permissions issue.

fstab of the Storage Group drive:

/dev/sdb1       /data   ext4
noatime,data=writeback,barrier=0,nobh,errors=remount-ro     0       1


'Default' and 'livetv' SG's are pointing to (currently these are the only
two that have been set):

> /data/mythtv/Recordings
> /data/mythtv/LiveTV
>

mythbackend log shows the following when i attempt to record:

permissions of the folders at the new location. i have compared them to the
default ones at /var/lib/mythtv/, and they match based off 'ls -l'

I hope someone can help!
at the moment i'm guessing it's permissions, but cant work out what is
going wrong.
