[mythtv-users] mythbackend --printexpire

In 0.24, I could run the command "mythbackend --printexpire" and see a
list of the recordings next eligible for autoexpire. This was helpful
for tuning my priorities--and no surprises when recordings were
expired. With 0.25, the expire list never prints. I just get the
normal startup lines...

tom at t3:~$ mythbackend --help 2>&1 | grep expire
--printexpire               Print upcoming list of recordings to be expired.

I added a drive to my Default storage group around the time I upgraded
to 0.25. Maybe this is the cause.

Without this command line tool working, the only way I know of to view
the autoexpire list is via the frontend. I'd like the list via ssh, or
better yet, mythweb. What happened to --printexpire? Can someone point
me to the autoexpire SELECT query so I can run it manually?
