Thanks, Paul. Mythweb uses DELETE_RECORDING as well (and the recording is
successfully deleted), but then follows it with FORGET_RECORDING. Looks
like the code just needs to be changed to add the "FORGET" parameter to the
DELETE_RECORDING command. So it looks like that should be an easy fix, but
I don't see any replacement for FORGET_RECORDING, so the "Forget Old"
button in mythweb won't work without deleting the recording. Not ideal.
