That's the case, because VDR uses multiple video dirs ONLY to store additional 
video files (if the video0 directory is full). VDR's Index (what you can see 
in the menu) is only built from the subdirs in /video0, because VDR was 
always supposed to work on the first one only. 

Easier to say, the whole structure (all video files this vdr has) is contained 
in /video0, with files not fitting into that dir SYMLINKED to the /video1 
partition, but being present (the symlink) in /video0 as well.

So, what you'll have to do is to store all recordings in one central /video0 
directory on the net, and use /video1 etc. only for expanding the available 
space (you can do that with nfs, but not this way;) ).
