By design.

You need to put the number of minutes to start early/end late in the 
recording rules.  The time you're setting, in global options (the one 
specified in seconds), is only there to allow start up/shut down of 
capture cards, as described in the setting's help text.

Time to record before start of show (in seconds)
This global setting allows the recorder to start before the scheduled 
start time. It does not affect the scheduler. It is ignored when two 
shows have been scheduled without enough time in between.

Time to record past end of show (in seconds)
This global setting allows the recorder to record beyond the scheduled 
end time. It does not affect the scheduler. It is ignored when two shows 
have been scheduled without enough time in between.

The time in the recording rule, however, is for you to say, "Regardless 
of what the networks say, I want an extra minute on each end of this 
show so I can see who done it..."
