 I did a search of existing bugs before filing this, so if I missed one
 describing this problem, I apologize in advance.

 I'm using 0.18.1 across the board. I told myth to record a bunch of
 shows/movies/etc., and then starting marking anything falling into
 specific time windows "don't record". I started doing this with the web
 interface, and after roughly a dozen such changes, changes started
 failing. If I brought up the show's details, marked it as don't record
 this instance, and hit submit, it'd claim success, but in some of the
 cases, the Notes: section would _still_ incidate myth was going to tape it
 even though the updated details page indicated it was instructed to skip
 it. Reloading scheduled_recordings.php or looking at mythfrontend reported
 this as well. I also tried performing such changes via mythfrontend, with
 no better luck.

 It doesn't appear to be a race condition, but oddly, I waited several
 hours and removed a few of the offending programs entirely (cancelled) and
 put them back, and it's cooperated better, but still not right. Very
 strangely, it also re-enabled taping of a show it had previously realized
 was already taped just 2 nights ago.

 Hopefully this won't make a difference, but this is running over current
 Gentoo, 2.6 kernel, WinTV 250 and ivtv driver (which have been stable for
 a long, long time). I did upgrade Gentoo (including mysql to 4.1.14, but
 not mythtv) before trying this.. it's been a long time since I've tried
 doing such taping, and I don't remember having much better success, so
 it's possible the bug was always there.

 Workarounds (including what I could muck with in the sql tables) would be
 great. I'm still trying to make this work. :)
