Multiple processes receiving the event?  I.e. you've configured it on 
multiple backend hosts and haven't done any host checking in the script, 
so when a recording starts, your master backend and some remote backend 
both send an e-mail.  Or, even, multiple processes (different MythTV 
programs) on the same host are running, so when the host handles it, 
both programs execute the handler?
