2211	SVN can't delete relative symlinks	mythtv-dev (at) dwilga-linux1.amherst.edu	cpinkham	"Myth is failing to resolve relative symlinks.

In my setup, I have my recordings stored in /media/record, and an NFS-mounted folder at /media/nfs to move them to when the main HD becomes to full. I create symlinks like:

  something.nuv -> ../nfs/something.nuv

Here's the output of 'mythbackend -v file':

This suggests that Myth is trying to delete the file using "".."" in the path, which is incorrect because mythbackend was not started in /media/record. To confirm this theory, I stopped mythbackend, cd'd to /media/record, restarted it, and then deleted the recording. It worked."	defect	closed	minor	0.21	mythtv	head	low	fixed			0
