Something's still wrong with the way MythArchive is identifying things. 
In the "Select Recordings" screen I see the little scissors icon for the 
recording in question, so it seems to know there's a cutlist for the 
recording at that point, but after I add it and go to the "Select 
Archive Items" screen it says "No Cutlist Available". Are those two 
sections using a different method to identify whether or not a cutlist 
is available?

FWIW, the 'hascutlist' field in the archiveitems table has a '2' in it 
for this item, which is the same value it has for recordings where it 
does think there's a cutlist. The 'cutlist' field for both records is NULL.
