Ah, just realized that you said you were watching as it records.  There 
was/is? an issue where playback exits recording in progress when you 
catch up to the point it was recording when you entered playback.

After it finishes recording it should play back fine as long as you exit 
and re-enter playback.

However, since I had you run a --rebuild while it was recording, you'll 
likely have to do another --rebuild once it completes.
