Once again I think we are getting two
separate features munged together.
MythTV does have an Auto Expire
feature to to check periodically
and maintain a minimum amount of
free space. You can set this up in
Setup->TV Settings->General on the
second page.

However, what has given you the blues
is the "Maximum number of episodes to
keep" on the advanced options page.
For this feature, it cleans up when
it starts recording one too many
episodes which is separate from the
periodic check to see if the disk is
full.
