[mythtv-users] Scheduled recordings no longer working

No scheduled recordings work, they appear to record but playing back I
just get "Recording Unavailable".
Watching Live TV works, and hitting record at that point will record
the rest of the show successfully.
The machine is a combined front/backend running mythtv .23 with Mythbuntu 10.04.
Two things may have caused it: moving interstate (and re-tuning) or
replacing the disk with a clone after the old one reported it would
fail soon.  They both happened around the same time.

Here's the logs of a recording I just scheduled for 10:59:

2011-01-29 10:58:00.900 Reschedule requested for id 0.
2011-01-29 10:58:01.140 Scheduled 27 items in 0.2 = 0.02 match + 0.21 place

...then a tonne of errors like this:
2011-01-29 11:01:36.586 ProgramInfo(1002_20110129105900.mpg), Error:
GetPlaybackURL: '1002_20110129105900.mpg' should be local, but it can
not be found.

I was in a situation where some scheduled recordings would work and
some wouldn't but I noticed that under System Status > Schedule Status
that it said something along the lines of:
12 Will Record on input 1 "Tuner 1"
5 Will Record on input 2 "Tuner 2"
2 Will Record on input 5 "Tuner 1"

and input 5 didn't make sense (I have a dual tuner with each tuner set
to a max of 2 recordings each, interleaved so I'd expect input 1
"Tuner 1, input 2 "Tuner 2", input 3 "Tuner 1", input 4 "Tuner 2".)
So I deleted the cards, inputs and source (and cleared those tables
for good measure) and re-created them.  Schedule Status no longer has
input 5 but no scheduled recording work.

Any help appreciated.
Andy
