I probably can't help you (at least not any more than what I suggest 
here), but before someone spends a lot of time trying to do so, make 
sure your database isn't corrupt.  I recommend running 
optimize_mythdb.pl (and setting it to run in a daily cron job) and then 
running "mythcommflag --rebuild" on one of the affected recordings.  If 
that clears it up, repeat the mythcommflag on any other recordings as 
required.
