I ended up taking the output of a select * from recorded, pulling it
into excel, looking at the fields needed in jobqueue, filling in the
blanks, turning those into mysql insert statements, and adding 295
entries to the jobqueues. Loads of CPU time later, I've gained back
almost 900gb of space.. If I had to do this very often, I'd be tempted
to write something...
