I figured out what to do, and it wasn't much.  

I noticed the hard drive light on my mythtv box flashing like crazy
when it shouldn't have been doing anything.  I looked in the directory
that the recordings get stored to, and there was a 115GB file.

I guess the show that I was recording when I mistakenly mis-set the
time just kept on getting recorded for days.  After restarting
mythbackend and getting rid of that file, everything seems to be
working.
