Do you have mythweb running? Is it protected from the Internet?

Maybe some body has found your site on google and decide what you can see, and 
what you can't.. :p
Or more likely, something is spidering mythweb and thus clicking on
every delete link in the process

Okay, I can fairly simply test that by just turning httpd off (or
blocking port 80) for a week or so and see if that really is the
problem.
Sure--if you prefer indirect evidence. Or, for direct evidence, you can simply check your mythweb access logs for lines like:

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - bobsmyth [25/Sep/2005:07:36:16 -0400] "GET /myth/recorded_programs.php?delete=yes&file=%2Fvideo%2Fmythtv%2F1024_20050919230000.mpg HTTP/1.1" 302 27

(although, without authentication, you shouldn't have a username--bobsmyth--in there.)

Is there a more "correct" way to protect my MythWeb from hackers and/or
spiders?

robots.txt ( http://www.searchengineworld.com/robots/robots_tutorial.htm ) can be used to tell robots how to index a site, but you shouldn't be allowing them access in the first place...
