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!

Title:
  MythArchive import fails to copy file

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  I have an external hard drive that I have used to export Christmas
  programs so I don't have to have them on my MythTV year-round. 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.
