If the recording is on the same channel with the same name it will only be
recorded once.  If user one deletes it it will be gone.

Its best to rely on auto-expire instead of manually deleting. this way if
some one doesnt get to a recording before its deleted its no ones fault but
the system.  If that is unexceptable to the user have them give more $$ for
more harddrive space :)
