And I have just found out that while a recording is in pending state,
the services API Dvr/GetUpcomingList fails - this is what my "gaps"
program reports:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/gaps", line 169, in <module>
    resp_dict = backend.send(endpoint='Dvr/GetUpcomingList')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MythTV/services_api/send.py",
line 244, in send
    .format(url))
RuntimeError: Connection problem/Keyboard Interrupt,
URL=http://mypvr:6544/Dvr/GetUpcomingList

I suspect that there is something locked that should not be and it
will be causing lots of similar problems.
