Now that I investigated this still further, I noticed that the privileges given to mounted NAS directories were wrong. uid and gid were for the logged in user (frontend), not for mythtv user (backend). so backed didn't have privileges to write to the shared directory. I changed my /etc/fstab to mount the NAS directories with mythtv user and now importing archived shows works for me!

In the past, this worked fine, but in the current mythbuntu, it is failing. In the mythfrontend, I get error 128 while the code is trying to run a mythutil copyfile operation. I ran this command from the command line to get more information. I've attached the command and the output. Looking at the source code online, I don't see that the ring buffer supports writing to a mythtv URI schema, even though it is documented as being supported. From what I saw, when writing is set to true it uses a FileRingBuffer.cpp which does not look to me as if it supports anything but a file system reference. But then again, my C++ knowledge is very, very rusty. The backend and frontend are on the same computer. I sometimes do use my macbook as a frontend, and so I have the backend configured to listen to the external IP of 192.168.1.3. I'm not sure if I have something not configured or if this is just a regression in mythbuntu/mythtv.
