[mythtv-users] Myth 0.21 expiring ALL shows too soon with TONS of disk space available

I have a myth 0.21 system that has been working perfectly for quite a
while.  I recently lost the 4TB internal array I was running due to a drive
failure.  I replaced it with a 5.5TB internal array.  I did this simply by:

* shutting down
* installing new replacement disks
* creating the array
* recreating the exact same storage paths
* purged all shows from the DB using mysql command line.
* restarted myth backend

The system works perfectly but it is acting like "Extra Disk Space" is
defined as 4TB (when its actually defined as 6GB).  All storage groups
point to the same partition.  Myth is expiring shows everyday and the free
space for the single storage partation stays right at 4TB available.  The
recording schedules do NOT have any expiration overrides.

Ideas?
