Update: The vanishing lines in backend-setup seem to be a theme issue
- other themes don't do it. So that's no longer something relevant to
the problem.
The problem still remains that MythTV can't see the Video storage
group. Can anybody offer any suggestions on things to try, or further
info that I could provide?

Thanks!
