It is in the sense that by now I've already missed that particular
recording (it will happen tonight but before I get back home, and the
machine is now in non-bootable state), but I'm still interested to know, so
thanks all the same for attempting to figure it out.

But sadly didn't.

I did not do that.

I repeated this 3 times, with small variations, but couldn't figure out why
it was failing. The error message, which I transcribed at the start of this
thread, did not make a lot of sense to me under the circumstances.
