Hmm.  I didn't see in your logs any indication of ReadStringList timeout errors.

By any chance are you getting any of those???

The only time I've had behavior similar to what you describe was when my
frontend was giving random ReadStringList timeouts because the Qt timer
functions suck.  (no, my system's clock time has NOT jumped 24 hours into the
future, thank you very much!)

ReadStringList would "timeout" (despite less than a second actually elapsing)
while getting the recordings, resulting in the recordings not appearing.  Other
symptoms included frontend hangs and backend crashes.
