[mythtv-users] Runaway mythcommflag & Storage Group issue

What is the proper way to diagnose a runaway commflag job?  I was running
0.22-fixes and now I'm running 0.23-fixes.  I've noticed a commflag job that
survives reboots.  Last time I looked (before rebooting), it had been
running for 4 days straight.

/usr/bin/mythcommflag -j 23279 -V 1

How do I determine which show is causing this and how to stop it?  Should I
just restart the backend with -v commflag?

I also see things in my backend log like this:
ProgramInfo(3244_20100517170000.mpg), Error: GetPlaybackURL:
'3244_20100517170000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.

I have Storage Groups enabled for recordings, videos, screenshots, etc.  I
also just saw this happen:
