Running mythlink.sh showed:
Creating /myth/pretty/Save_the_last_dance-Aug31_2006_2020 from
/myth/tv/1021_20060831202000_20060831225000.nuv
Failed to create symlink
/myth/pretty/Save_the_last_dance-Aug31_2006_2020.mpg: File exists at -e line
60, <> line 19.
ls: /myth/pretty/Save_the_last_dance-Aug31_2006_2020.mpg: No such file or
directory

	DELETE FROM recorded WHERE title='Save the last dance'

in mythconverg did the trick. I've also deleted the .nuv.

How did you know where to look? It's not the first time this kind of problem
occures. Solving the problem often isn't the issue. Finding the problem in
Myth is.. Where can I read more on how things work?

Thanks.
