The latter - it is the frontend apk - I am not running a backend on the
shield.  The settings I have always used since 2005 when I started running
mythtv allowd me to immediately delete files and also disable the property
to delete them slowly (this one I believe was introduced around 2009/2010
or so).  I am just having an issue with the backend not deleting stuff when
it says it does.

In the past, when the "expiring xxxx of xxxx" message has always showed up,
it actually freed the space.  It is not doing that from this frontend as
shopwn from the log snippets from before.  I guess I should have shown df
before and after.  I just tried restarting the backend in case there were
some open handles or something and it went defunt/zombie, so I am rebooting
it now.

Hmmmm..  Restarting the backend fixed it - it is cleaning up a TB of space
now..  Weird..  I have not had this happen before.  Oh well.  Vacation
gremlins I suppose...?
