I thought I'd try manually deleting one of the recordings queued for expiry 
and saw this logged:

Apr 13 11:36:23 tv mythbackend: 2017-04-13 11:36:23.692065 N  
DeleteRecordedFiles - recording id 138 filename /recording/tv/
2041_20170412090000.mpg
Apr 13 11:36:23 tv mythbackend: 2017-04-13 11:36:23.694149 N  DoDeleteINDB - 
recording id 138 (chanid 2041 at 2017-04-12T09:00:00Z)
Apr 13 11:36:28 tv mythbackend: 2017-04-13 11:36:27.976324 C  ProgramInfo(): 
Failed to find recorded entry for 138.

The recording appears to have been deleted though, according to disk activity 
- reads and intermittent writes for slow-delete file truncation. But whatever 
controls expiry hasn't woken up.
