It sort of makes sense. I've now changed to [Original settings]:
AutoExpireDayPriority         3
AutoExpireDefault         0
AutoExpireExtraSpace         5 [1]
AutoExpireInsteadOfDelete     0
AutoExpireLiveTVMaxAge        3 [1]
AutoExpireMethod         1 (Oldest Show First) [2(Lowest Priority First)]
AutoExpireWatchedPriority    0
DeletedMaxAge (Time to retain deleted recordings (days)) -1 (Recording 
always deleted before new recording) [0(Permanent Deletion 5-20 mins 
later)]

DeletedMaxAge explanation found in old post:  "Time to retain deleted 
recordings (days): Determines the maximum number of days before 
undeleting a recording will become impossible. A value of zero means the 
recording will be permanently deleted between 5 and 20 minutes later. A 
value of minus one means recordings will be retained until space is 
required. A recording will always be removed before this time if the 
space is needed for a new recording." {This overflows the screen on 0.25 
so the last sentence cannot be read, but maybe can be read fully in the 
coming web interface?}

Using this and having deleted some 20GB off drive "repo" I've done some 
test recordings.  It recorded fine until the drive filled up then it 
shows file sizes in mythweb (instead of the more common "B") however 
once drive repo fills right up the subsequent files are zero length in 
/repo/recordings/ and repo1/2 are ignored.

Old auto expires still failing and remaining drives seem to be ignored now.

Don't think I've got there yet, I am presuming a reboot / backend 
restart is not required here.

A moved the old LiveTV files from 2010 to free up some space on drive 
repo, which worked until it was refilled.... Hmm. {Also not sure how to 
delete the reference to these as mythweb is reporting the 20GB is still 
there}
