I've just noticed that mythv (0.20.2.svn20071021-0.2) has started
expiring the wrong recordings.
Eg (one which will annoy the children)
2008-09-20 19:23:02.124 Started recording: Merlin "The Dragon's Call": channel 2501 on cardid 2, sourceid 2
2008-09-20 20:22:00.572 Finished recording Merlin "The Dragon's Call": channel 2501
2008-09-20 20:22:02.508 Finished recording Merlin "The Dragon's Call": channel 2501
2008-09-21 21:56:20.781 Expiring Merlin "The Dragon's Call" from Sat Sep 20 19:30:00 2008, 2493 MBytes, free space is too low (have 2992 MBytes free , but want 3244 MBytes)

I have lots of other older stuff which can be auto expired according
to the web interface, eg about 100GB of stuff starting from 19th
August onwards.

However "mythbackend --printexpire" only shows stuff recorded recently
which is the problem I guess.
