Title:
  cannot expire recordings after upgrade to 0.27

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Noticed my hard drive is filling up - even after I "delete" a
  recording in MythTV no new space is created.

  Looked in the Information Centre and noticed NO new autoexpire jobs
  have deleted any programs since the day I upgraded to 0.27

  Then I saw this in the log:

  $ tail /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

  I changed the hostname on this machine from "loungeroom" to "rem"
  maybe a year or so ago but the hostname is NOT explicitly defined in
  ANY settings (that I have been able to find anywhere?) for mythbackend
  nor mythfrontend

  it would seem somehow this is now having some sort of an effect on
  "mythcorecontext.cpp" - since the upgrade on the 20th of last month. I
  have tried adding "loungeroom" as a hostname for the machine in
  /etc/hosts but that does not help...

  I am fast running out of hard drive space!

  (btw is there some command I need to run to manually clear the backlog
  of programs which need to be deleted?)
