Running mythlink.pl as part of your transcode userjob or as a system event
works really well to create just the link for the newly created show. I
found that running mythlink.pl as a cronjob to recreate the links did
occasionally cause issues if you were watching. I now just run a cronjob
every few minutes to cleanup broken links and empty directories.

find -L /tv/Shows  -type l -delete
find /tv/Shows -type d -empty -delete

will remove the links for deleted programming.
