I hope you changed the path in one of the profiles in Configuration > Recording > Digital Video Recorder Profiles
"in the settings" is hopelessly vague.

The default installation creates a user 'hts' which TVHeadend uses, but TVH doesn't have to run as this user. You can check with:
$ pgrep -a tvheadend
22723 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -p /var/run/tvheadend.pid -u foo -g video
This indicates that TVH is running as user foo.

Before you ask why, you should ask if.
TVH is not limited to recording in its default folder, it can record anywhere the tvh process has permission to write.
My TVH records to /var/spool/pvr for example.
So, the two things you need to know are:
1) What user is running tvh?
2) What permissions does your recording folder have? [ check with 'ls -lahF /media/server/' ]
