[mythtv-users] Removecommercials script and commercial flagging problem

I have this script running:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Talk:Script_-_RemoveCommercials#enhanced_script_uses_channelID_and_starttime_throughout

with this user job:

removecommercials "%DIR%" "%FILE%" "%CHANID%" "%STARTTIME%"

and it works fine, but I'm having a problem where the recording, let's say a
30 minute episode, gets stripped down to ~21 minutes with commercials cut
(as is the goal, fine so far), but what happens is there's still commercials
flagged apparently and the episode will skip in a few places where it has
flagged commercials, but of course there are none. Like the first commercial
break might be at 9 minutes into the show, but it's cut so it goes black for
a second and returns to the second act, and it will skip a few minutes
there, where it has flagged a commercial. I can't figure this out.
