If it can find a show from Feb 16th, it's not DST.  Let me guess--you 
upgraded to 0.21 sometime between Feb 4th and Feb 16th, right?

If so, you just have to fix your storage group configuration.  The 
directory that you used for 0.20 recordings needs to exist in the 
Default storage group.  You can add it in mythtv-setup.
