Here's what I did:

1) took out my existing directories in the "Videos" storage group
2) added a "temp" directory to my "videos" storage group
3) opened mythfrontend, and scanned for changes

The result is that I still have all of the videos available, but now
most of them don't have coverart associated with them.  I can still
select the video to play.

As a side note, I do myth-setup over VNC.  I noticed that now (all of
a sudden) when I drill down through menus, I can't use my keyboard to
select.  For instance, on the opening mythtv-setup screen, I can use
my cursor  keys to select "Storage Groups", and I use "Enter" to
select.  When I get to the Storage Groups page, though, I can no
longer use my keyboard.  My mouse works for selection, but I can't
directly type in the box to enter my storage group directory (I added
the directory through mysql).
