This delete issue is fixed in CVS.  Workaround is to touch the missing 
filename so that there is a file to delete.  This behavior was changed 
to prevent the system from deleting all your metadata during an 
auto-expire when your media folder was unmounted for whatever reason.  
The fix now looks for a zero filesize in the DB which indicates a bogus 
recording.  A good recording that is unmounted for whatever reason would 
have a non-zero filesize in the DB.
