There are occasional problems with that, probably due to some sort of race
condition when you delete files quickly. I've got an old script I snagged
from someone that will help find those files:

#!/bin/sh
for i in `mysql -u mythtv --password=mythtv mythconverg -e \
'select chanid, starttime, endtime from recorded' |
perl -wne 'next if $. == 1; s/|//g; s/-//g; s/://g; @_ = split;
print join( '_', $_[0], $_[1].$_[2], $_[3].$_[4]) . ".nuv\n";'` \
`ls *.nuv`;
do echo $i; done | sort | uniq -u | xargs du -sh | grep nuv$


It'll print a list of nuv files in the directory that aren't in the
database.
