I checked using a database query, and all of the recordings that 
occurred do have duplicate=1:

   SELECT * FROM oldrecorded WHERE title LIKE '%NewsHour%' AND future=0 
AND chanid=5571

Where is the autoexpire query in the code? If there is some other flag 
that is causing the issue, I might be able to figure it out, once I know 
the full query.
