Does "sudo umount /var/lib/mythtv" bring them back? Note: this will 
mean you no longer have the new drive available for recordings.

My guess is you have mounted your new drive over the top of the 
directory where your previous recordings are.

In this case, you'll either need to move all the recordings to your new 
drive (by mounting the new drive elsewhere, moving the content to it, 
then mounting the new drive back at /var/lib/mythtv) or set up the new 
drive as a separate storage location in MythTV. It basically comes down 
to: do you want the new drive to be the /only/ place for new recordings? 
Or an additional place for recordings?
