Wow...I just deleted a bunch of shows (older episodes of The Dr. Oz
Show) and the same thing is happening.  They disappear from the
recorded programs when you delete them (in either the frontend or
mythweb) but upon exiting and reentering the list they still show
until the slow delete is actually finished.  I'm thinking about
converting by recordings drive to ext4 and bagging the slow deletes
once and for all, but I'd really like to know if this is how it works
now.

Am I the only one seeing this happen?
