I've had this break on me when a manual record on a program was also
recorded based on the scheduled program. I think it would be simpler
add the recorder number to the generated name than to check for the
file... The file could be created on separate backends that share a
store via something like NFS. This is normally set-up with some
level of asynchrony for efficiency reasons.

This also broke the DB insertion of keyframes so I wanted to have 
a closer look at this before I started working on a fix.
