Several of my recent recordings have failed, but there is no
indication of what happened in the log.

In the frontend GUI, when I go to "Watch Recordings", several listings
are grayed out and have a little "X" next to them.  If I select one of
those, and try to play, I get this message:

Recording Unavailable
House Bombshells
The file for this recording can not be found

Relevant section of /var/log/mythbackend.log for this recording:

Any thoughts?  This problem seems to favor "House".  Wife acceptance
factor is plummeting!

Thanks,
