mythrename.pl deletes (all) the symlinks under the view directory 
(/storage/recordings/show_names) each time it runs.

Perhaps of interest:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/23474
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/23479

You should be able to download the new mythlink.pl and use it with 
MythTV 0.22, if you'd like.
