The mythcutprojectx script has this section which you may be able adapt. 
  It clears the cutlist too, and it writes directly to the DB, which is 
considered a Bad Thing.

# tell mythDB about new filesize and clear myth cutlist
FILESIZE=`du -b "$1" | cut -f 1`
if [ "${FILESIZE}" -gt 1000000 ]; then
       echo "Running: update recorded set filesize=${FILESIZE} where 
basename=\"$1\";"
       echo "update recorded set filesize=${FILESIZE} where 
basename=\"$1\";" | mysql -u mythtv -p$PASSWD mythconverg
       echo "Filesize has been reset"
       echo "Running: ionice -c3 mythcommflag -f "$1" --clearcutlist"
       ionice -c3 mythcommflag -f "$1" --clearcutlist
       echo "Cutlist has been cleared."
