[mythtv-users] Autoexpire checking all disks every 15 minutes causing them to not spin down

I moved my master backend to a new machine and after this all the
drives on the new machine are always spinning instead of powering down
like they did when the machine was a slave bakend.

I checked the logs and it appears that autoexpire is the culprit:

I looked at the wiki to see if I can change the auto expire rate but
the docs do not match what I have.
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Frontend#Global_Auto_Expire_Settings

Specifically I do not have a "Auto Expire Frequency" setting.

Here is my version info:
