You've obviously got more patience than me I couldn't be bothered to dig 
that deep :)

So the question is why do we fall back to searching all storage groups? 
I can see how we may need to continue the search for recordings that 
can't be found in the default storage group but not for most other 
files. In this case we only care about what is in Temp?
