Do you have the option set to start comm flagging when the recording
starts? If so, you may need to disable that because there's allegedly a
race condition that causes the comm flagger to error out when it hits the
end of the file (as it will frequently if it's trying to work on the file
while it's being recorded). This may not be your problem, but it's
something to try.
