Right, that's what everyone has been saying.

And the error is exactly what it says it is..."/videos" and "/music" do 
not exist on your client!  So the fix, as you found out, is:

$ sudo mkdir /videos /music
$ sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3 192.168.1.240:/var/lib/mythtv/videos /videos
$ sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3 192.168.1.240:/var/lib/mythtv/music /music

The problem is that people sometimes forget that mount (and sshfs, which 
is the one that bites me) do NOT create the mount point for you.

So having said that, I'm not sure why you can't do the mount deeper. 
FWIW, I do an NFS mount to /opt/bin/ on the client side and that works 
fine.  Typo in paths maybe?

Is 'mount --verbose' any help?


Good luck,
JP
