[mythtv-users] Schedule finds false duplicates when scheduling a weekly show

I've seen some threads about this in the past but I haven't been able to
solve my problem.

I setup a show to to recorded once a week on any channel with the standard
duplicate check of Subtitle and Description.

For some shows once I've recorded a single episode it marks all subsequent
episodes as already recorded.

For example for the show "King Of the Hill"

mythbackend --printsched

--- print list start ---
Title - Subtitle                Ch Station Day Start  End   S C I  T N   Pri
King Of The Hill                  4 C4      06 18:30-19:00   6 0 0 w R 0/

King Of The Hill                  4 C4      07 18:30-19:00   6 0 0 w R 0/

Now the subtitle and description fields for the episodes marked with an
"R" for already recorded are different from the episode I have on disk.

The only way I can persuade the schedule to work the way I expect it to
disable all duplicate checks for the show.

This is with MythBuntu 0.22 with mythtv 0.22.0+fixes23069

I've tried running the backend with "--verbose schedule" but it didn't
provide me with any additional useful info.

Whats odd is this seems to happen only for selected shows. Any ideas on
what I should try next.
