If you use the right recording rule type (find one), they get deleted
automatically (upon successful recording--so, they'll hang around if
your network changes the schedule after you set up the rule and the
movie never actually shows).

Don't do a script.
Just go into MythWeb's Recording Schedules page or mythfrontend's Manage
Recordings|Recording Rules screen and sort by "Last Recorded" (hit 6--I
think(?)--in mythfrontend to sort by Last Recorded) and you'll note that
all the ones that have never recorded group together and all the ones
that haven't recorded for a long time are together. Makes it easy to
find the old ones so /you/ can *decide* whether it's worth keeping the
rule... :)
