recordings not deleted in additional video-dirs (video.0x)

Hi all,

First let me descibe my setup:

I'm using VDR from http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental (vdr (1.7.16/1.7.16), 
1.7.16-2~ctvdr1 - vdr-abi-1.7.16-multipatch) 

I switched to vdr-experimental beginning of November 2010. I think the version 
I'm using now (above) is available only since last week (before it was 1.7.16-
<something else>). 
I don't know what has changed and whether my problem persists with this 
version and I can't easily check any longer. However, I'm sure that the 
previous one was having the following problem:

Until recently I used 2 partitions for recordings:

/var/lib/video -> /var/lib/video.00
/var/lib/video.00
/var/lib/video.01

/var/lib/video.01 is what I called additional video-dir in the subject. VDR 
puts some files (.ts or .vdr respectively) into /var/lib/video.01 and creates 
symbolic links from /var/lib/video.00 .

I'm not sure whether this feature is added by multipatch or included in 
vanilla-vdr.

When now I merged the two video.0x directories onto a new partition I resolved 
the symbolic links with a small script and mv'd the corresponding files into 
the right place. When this was done I realized that there were still plenty of 
.ts and .vdr files which had no longer any reference in the original video.00-
directory. 

All the files that were left are files from recordings I deleted after switching 
to vdr-1.7.16 . Those were recordings from before and after switching to 
vdr-1.7.16 .

I hope what I'm writing is clear. If I'm finding the time I will take a look at 
the vdr-source from the package, but don't count on it...

best regards,
