I get this all the time with my firewire recordings and very
occasionally with my HDHR as well.  Any time the tuner fails to get
the recording, mythTV just blindly marks the recording as successful,
even though there isn't anything on disk.  It's #1 on my personal list
of annoying mythTV bugs.

It isn't anything unique to your setup.  It's come up many times on this list.
