 I think I've found a bug in the interaction between a recording rule
 with max number of episodes and the deleted group.

 I've got a rule (Dora the Explorer) set up with max number of episodes
 set to 3. I have the Deleted group set up to keep deleted programs for
 up to 7 days. When the scheduler decides to record a new episode of
 Dora, it immediately auto-expires an episode from the Deleted group,
 even though it hasn't been around for 7 days yet, and there are less
 than 3 non-deleted episodes. The expired episode gets marked for
 re-recording (duplicate=0) even though is was already deleted.

 I think the main bug is that the max number of episodes code needs to be
 modified to not count episodes in the deleted group. Alternatively, it
 should not reset the duplicate flag when it expires an episode from the
 deleted group.

 It also uses an unusual message when doing so; normally,
 when a Deleted item expires, either due to the 7 day delay or because my
 drive is full, the log says:

        logid: 8440
       module: autoexpire
     priority: 5
 acknowledged: 0
      logdate: 2008-05-05 11:17:38
         host: pyloric
      message: Expiring Program
      details: Expiring 308 MBytes for 1 @ Sat Jan 5 08:00:41 2008 => The
 Wire "02x11: Bad Dreams"

 but when it logs in this instance, it says:

        logid: 7954
       module: autoexpire
     priority: 5
 acknowledged: 0
      logdate: 2008-04-28 09:26:37

      message: Expired program

 Dora the Explorer.  Too many episodes, we only want to keep 3.
