If you have no defined jobs, I assume that getJobsInQueue just runs to
see if any new jobs have been added. The log entries that does concern
me are:

 2005-11-21 19:57:26.295 Found -1 episodes in recording profile 56
using max expiration

I don't use max episodes to control if a program is recorded, but I
would guess that the -1 entry is an error value? I would do the normal
things like check database consistency, restart the backend etc, but
hopefully a more experienced user could point out what else might be
causing this behaviour.
