Seeing that you're using .20.2, and not .21, you don't use recording  
groups, which would have been my first guess. My second guess is that  
you are expiring based on priority and not record date. It's a setting  
in the frontend somewhere. Check that. If you are, then you will need  
to increase the priority of the shows you want to preserve.
