Yes, the same path can be entered in multiple storage group definitions,
though I see little reason to assign the same paths to two storage groups,
at that point you could get away with just one.  If  your goal is a bit
more complex, you will want to keep in mind that mythtv has multiple
methods for balancing the load/storage of recordings within the storage
groups, you will want to select the one that makes the most sense to your
goals.
