Just a hunch: although you specify the remaining disk space in
gigabytes, some filesystems reserve a certain percentage of the disk
for root's exclusive use so that logging and daemons would
continue to
work if a run-away user process tried to fill the filesystem.
From a
user's perspective, "df" would show lots of remaining space
(typically
5% for ext2/ext3) but writing data to files would fail if it
resulted
in an allocation request. If that percentage is larger than the
fixed
size you specified then the auto-expire routine would never be
triggered.

Try restarting mythbackend and mythfrontend. Unix and Unix-like OSs
hold filehandles open (even if the files have been externally
deleted), which keeps the space allocated until those programs exit,
or the filehandles are closed.
Or, compare the results of 'du' from the root of that filesystem and
df of that filesystem.

This is Reiserfs v3 /w LVM on a hardware RAID 5 array. When I
checked with df the
whole filesystem was actually used up. So it really IS full and
no reserve... The
only thing this volume is used for is Myth storage, TV shows,
video, music, etc.
Programs are on another volume.

Do you have the "allow backend override" enabled? This is supposed to
take care of this, at least that is how I understand it.
Cool
