OK, five mins after posting this I think I have realised what happened and I'm not sure it should work this way. I have two front-ends running on laptops downstairs and one backend running on a server upstairs. The Mythvideo video directory is configured to be /mnt/monster/Movies but this directory isn't mapped to either of the client machines. This morning I tried to update the movie listing from one of the laptops and I think it tried to look for them on its own drive. Obviously, not finding any it deleted everything in the database.

So - should mythvideo not use mythbackend to search for new files on
the server? This is what I would expect from a client/server
application. Or should I be mounting drives on each of the front ends
to match the backend which doesn't follow any of the rest of mythtv.
e.g. streaming video over the network or executing SQL statements to
the back end database.
