I am having a problem with duplicate episodes of this show recording
(recent 0.20-fixes).  As an example here is an entry in my oldrecorded
table:

+--------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------+----------+----------------------------------------------------------+----------+----------+--------------+--------+----------+---------+---------+-----------+-----------+------------+---------+

Here is the program table entry for an episode that is being
re-recorded.  You see that the description matches.
+--------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------+----------+----------------------------------------------------------+----------+---------------+---------+-------+-----------------+-----------------+--------+-----------+------+----------------+------------+-----------+----------+-----------------+----------+-----------+-------------------------+--------------+----------+---------+---------------+-------+------+

And here is the 'Record All' rule which is set to match duplicates
based on 'description':

Since the description matches I'd expect this not to record.  I notice
the programids do not match... is that the problem?  Or can someone
spot something else? Anyone have a suggestion how to deal with this?
