Some background information: these recordings have been made using the 
HD-PVR. I had exported them using mytharchive before I upgraded my 
system to 0.27.3. I used mytharchive to restore the recording then 
attempted to use the lossless_cut script to remove undesired content.

I looked at a few other mytharchive items and it appears the 
"recordedprogram" information is not saved.  Sounds as if I will not be 
able to use the lossless_cut script with any exported/imported recordings.

Thank you to everyone who responded.
