[mythtv-users] Recording Permissions Problem

Hi All,

I'm running Mythbuntu 12.04 x64, with all storage directories pointing to
directories on a NAS (Thecus N4100PRo).
I'm mounting the NAS locally using NFS, with this:
mount -o soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
gromit:/raid0/data/_NAS_NFS_Exports_/mythtv /mnt/nfs

It mounts correctly, but I am unable to play recordings because of a
permission problem; the recording and png files appear as:
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 mythtv mythtv 1267934040 May 15 19:44 1476_20120515193000.mpg*
On the NAS, the directory is exported using:
"Guest system root account will have full access to this share (root:root)."

When I try and play these, I get a message to the effect of:
"Recording unavailable: <title><subtitle> The file for this recording can
not be found"

I am also unable to play these in VLC.

If I do a
sudo chown mythtv:users *
...then this fixes it.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Geoff
