OK,

this update will solve my problem, at least partially ;-)

I still have to get this done through my ssh connection to the box,
but as I was also looking into the problem here I alrady figured out 
that the SQL command to use is:

select sum(filesize) from recorded WHERE hostname IN ("<LIST OF TVBOXNAMES>") 
AND recgroup="LiveTV";

(Does that look right?)

Just have to write a script which sutracts this value from the df output
I guess.

But thanks a lot Chris for helping out /understanding the problem/arguing 
about this!
Restores my faith in the Open Source community....
