Not having the backend share mounted on the frontend is one reason that deleted space won't free up until the backend is rebooted. Once the share is mounted (ideally, automatically at boot as configured in /etc/fstab), the problem goes away and space will free up immediately upon deleting programs.

My guess is that it streams recordings to the frontend for viewing, and uses the share for housekeeping e.g. deletion. I suggest double checking your nfs configuration to confirm the frontend /myth tree is indeed mapped to the backend /myth tree. However, if your share is indeed mounted, and you're still having a problem recovering free space, then something else is causing the problem which may be remedied by the current CVS (or by rebooting).
