You might have a problem with permission on the files. Try setting the
permissions on the files to allow write by anyone (I'd just go to the
directory and do a "chmod 777 *"). I can't see how that would happen if the
recordings were created by MythTV  in that location but if you've manually
moved them then that might explain it.

Cheers,
Steve
