 If, for whatever reason, a recording never gets past the rsTuning state,
 mythbackend will flag this as a successful recording at the end of the
 recording time by setting the status to rsRecorded.  This will result in a
 zero-byte or missing recording file, and mythbackend will not schedule
 another attempt to record the episode.  If this was a one-time recording
 rule, that rule will also be eligible for deletion.

 I have observed this problem with the HD-PVR, HDHR, and firewire.

 The attached patch only allows the transition to rsRecorded if the
 previous state was rsRecording.  Any other state will transition to
 rsFailed, which will allow mythbackend to reschedule the recording.
