Been reading the code since I wrote this, and I was right.  Anything 
that's auto-expired--Live TV, "old deleted" shows, episodes over max, 
recordings--is removed from disk and none is ever put in the Deleted 
recording group.

I can't see any possible way for a show to be expired to the Deleted 
recording group, so we really need those -v file logs to see what's 
happening.  And that means, if auto-expire is what's putting things in 
your Deleted recording group, something very major is messed up, somewhere.
