Do you have a properly setup /etc/hosts file? That could be causing you the heartburn here. Also check perms by touching files (I find that the easiest solution for basic troubleshooting permissions): cd /mythtv/recording/directory touch anything If you get permission denied, you will want to investigate further, if not, it's likely a problem is name resolution somewhere...
