they were...

Is there a known problem where Myth doesn't delete what it thinks it
does?  That would account for lost disk space.

There are occasional problems with that, probably due to some sort of race condition when you delete files quickly.  I've got an old script I snagged from someone that will help find those files:

#!/bin/sh
for i in `mysql -u mythtv --password=mythtv mythconverg -e \
        'select chanid, starttime, endtime from recorded' |
        perl -wne 'next if $. == 1; s/|//g; s/-//g; s/://g; @_ = split;
        print join( '_', $_[0], $_[1].$_[2], $_[3].$_[4]) . ".nuv\n";'` \
        `ls *.nuv`;
do echo $i; done | sort | uniq -u | xargs du -sh | grep nuv$


It'll print a list of nuv files in the directory that aren't in the database.
