Thanks for that, but it hasn't quite worked out.  Running 'mythcommflag 
--help' it says

"--queue    Insert flagging job into the JobQueue, rather than running 
flagging in the foreground"

Nothing about which jobs will end up running.  Anyway I gave it  a try 
and it did indeed queue up a lot of commflagging jobs.  After is had 
completed (several hours) I checked my recordings and not everything had 
been commflagged.
Interrogating the database with commands of the form

      SELECT COUNT(commflagged) FROM recorded WHERE commflagged=n;

revealed

n=0   (Not flagged)   -> count = 220
n=1   (Done)              -> count = 196
n=3   (commfree)     -> count = 70

So I'm assuming that 'mythcommflagged --queue' is checking something 
else as well as 'recorded.commflagged'.
Any ideas?
