I told it to use my /video directory for temporary storage of files.

bad idea. it's a temp *DIR*... never really checked, but I could believe
that mythburn cleans up the temp dir when it's done.

Yeah, because the recordings are still in the database. You'll need to purge

I have tried deleting them but they won't go away.

entries in the recording database too... while I can delete them manually,
it would be nice if regular "delete" would delete the database entry even if
the file doesn't exist.
