Hi,
I can remember that I had a similar problem some time ago. This was about
having something like...
dvbcat dvb-s "ZDF" | mplayer -
...in my script. It seems that this means that a new process is started which
might not be killed. I did not really fully understand it and do not know if
this is really the reason.
I ended up with writing my own recording plugin, an own tv plugin and an own
recordserver.
You can find some details in

and

However, this about freevo 1.5-something. It might not work any more with a
newer version.
