Here's what happened when it deleted the last one: Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing recording /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del/001.vdr Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del/index.vdr Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del/info.vdr Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del/resume.vdr Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano I never had a case (at least none that I remember) where this didn't work as expected. Could it be that this only happens with a patched VDR? Klaus
