Comment(by nick@…):

 I have similar symptoms:

 MythTV Version   : 24431
 MythTV Branch    : branches/release-0-23-fixes
 Network Protocol : 56
 Library API      : 0.23.20100429-1
 QT Version       : 4.6.2
 Options compiled in:
  linux debug using_oss using_alsa using_pulse using_jack using_pulseoutput
 using_backend using_dvb using_firewire using_frontend

 using_bindings_perl using_bindings_python using_opengl using_vdpau
 using_ffmpeg_threads using_libavc_5_3 using_live using_mheg

 My Setup:
 - two backends: pacifico (master) and session (slave)
 - fsID #1: pacifico:/var/lib/mythtv/recordings (NFS mounted on session as
 well, same location)
 - fsID #2: session:/var/lib/mythtv/livetv (NFS mounted on pacifico as
 well, same location)

 From my master backend logs (pacifico), Myth is correctly obtaining an
 ordered list of files to expire, but when it cycles through to wack them
 (Checking...) it fails to delete all but the most recent ones!

 Log Note: the first shows below are ones that have a max episodes set, and
 auto-expire on... so I expect them to be deleted first, but they are
 skipped. Then the really old shows are attempted, getting to newer and
 newer shows until one is eventually able to be deleted. As you can see I
 have shows from several months ago that it is skipping, and instead
 deleting shows recorded only a few days ago!

         FOUND file expirable. 2310 @ 2010-05-17T01:00:00 is located at
 /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/2310_20100517010000.mpg which is on fsID #1.
 Adding to deleteList.  After deleting we should have 19090 MB free on this
 filesystem.

 So... there seems to be a 3rd case in AutoExpire::ExpireRecordings that
 neither ends up deleting the file, nor complaining the file could not be
 found:

    if (dirList.contains(p->hostname + ":" + vidFile.path()))

 I am guessing this is what is failing... so the file is essentially
 skipped and the next one is tried, over and over.

 I don't know what my slave backend (session) is doing about AutoExpire
 yet, I just now turned up its logging.

 If this isn't the same bug, I can open a new ticket.
