 Mytharchive Problem:
 0.21.0-ubunto2~gutsy1

 Short Explanation:
 Apparently no option to delete files selected for burning left over from
 previous version of MythTV.
 The previous version had the user select Recordings/Vidoes or Files for
 burning to DVD.  The files appeared on a list with checkboxes to include
 in the current archive. When attempting to use mytharchive for the first
 time on 0.21.0 gutsy, I had 57 files in the list to burn to DVD and no way
 to delete them. (no check boxes to select/deselect).

 My solution exit and choose Native archive.  I aborted the archive after
 all 57 files were processed with info.xml files. List was clean for both
 Create DVD and Create Native Archive.

 Detail:
 When I went to create a DVD I had a list of 57 videos ready to burn and
 could not delete any of them.  This was a carry over from the old Myth
 Archive list.  In the previous version , you would select Optical Disks,
 Archive Files, Create DVD, then have two options,   ~>Find Files to
 Archive or Archive Video Files.   You would select Find Files and then
 chose from one or more of:  Find Recordings, Find Video Files, Find Files.
 I would then go to Find Recordings  and use a check box to include all
 that I wanted or might want to archive(this is the list that gets carried
 over to the new Myth).  You then had to back out of the menu(clunky part)
 to here~>   Archive Video Files.  At the next screen you could check or
 uncheck the ones you wanted to burn and proceed.

 PROBLEM:  The new Myth Archive does not use check boxes here and you can't
 delete the files selected.   I did not select them, they were already
 there from my selection on the old system.

  I then selected Create Native Archive.   It lets you archive any number
 of recordings.  It went through all 57 items, created a directory and
 info.xml for each.  I aborted the actual archiving.  Then went back to
 check the logs.  It reported some errors re: not finding files (long since
 deleted) and success with others.

 I went back to Create DVD and the files were all gone.  I went to Create
 Native Archive and they were all gone.

 The new Myth should include an option to cleanup from the the previous
 version unless this is just a gutsy backport problem.
