Usually if the scheduler isn't scheduling properly, it means there's a 
problem with one or more of your (almost definitely custom) recording 
rules--usually resulting in a SQL issue.  If you have any custom rules, 
you may want to write down the details (so you could recreate them) and 
then delete them and see if things work properly.  If so, start adding 
them back one by one until you find the culprit.
