I figured it out in case anyone with a similar issue finds their way to this thread. I was using "Custom Paths and Filenames" under "Recording" in MediaPortal TV Server in the format:
\%title%\[Season %series%\]%title%[ - S%series%E%episode% - %name%]
It was the leading backslash above causing the double backslash in the resulting recording's database record. It wasn't causing any other problems, except when I tried to play something back from the "Live TV" - "Recordings" list in Kodi on another system on my network. The local filename wouldn't be converted correctly into a UNC path. Anything played from a MediaPortal client or from "Movies" or "TV Shows" in Kodi worked fine
The proper syntax is:
%title%\[Season %series%\]%title%[ - S%series%E%episode% - %name%]
Easy to fix -- time consuming to find...
\%title%\[Season %series%\]%title%[ - S%series%E%episode% - %name%]
