This is already partially accomplished in myth_archive_job.pl in the contrib directory. In combination with the newer AutoExpire code that detects whether the file is a link or not, this may give some of you eveything you're looking for. I use it to "archive" off a few shows onto a snapserver that I have so I can let them record without a maxepisodes set and don't have to worry about them filling up my main nfs server's hard drive. There's no cron job necessary, it runs as a User Job when the recording finishes and supports multiple destination directories and will pick the first one it finds with enough space.
