The error message states "File doesn't exist.". It would appear to be
100% correct in this case.

If a file is not available (and it's not due to a mount being
temporarily offline as can sometimes happen), and you want to remove
the file's metadata, you can do this on from the 'Delete' menu option
when the entry is selected on the Watch Recordings screen. If
mythfrontend cannot find the file, it will offer to remove the
metadata for you.
