Hi Sorry, 
  Leaving out the version was very remiss of me, I'm running 0.27 (from home spun RPMs on Fedora 18). 

The wiki link was what lead me to the initial post, I don't use per recording priorities so I don't think the change from 0.26 to 0.27 will effect me, however I have a nagging feeling that i'm missing something fundemental hence the post.

I guess I could just set it up and monitor how it works.

Thanks
  Russell
