I don't think you need to mess with your database directly. You can
just delete the affected recordings with the "delete and allow
rerecord". I had the same problem a while back. There were some issues
to do it with a whole bunch of recordings using a playlist, but it
worked well. Read through this thread to see how I worked it out and
