 vdr is not deleting files it does not know. Its only deleting empty 
 directories in its video directories.

From the VDR/INSTALL file:

  Note that you should not copy any non-VDR files into the /videoX directories,
  since this might cause a lot of unnecessary disk access when VDR cleans up 
those
  directories and there is a large number of files and/or subdirectories in
  there.

The video directory is VDR's own space, there shall be nothing else
in there. If the user puts anything non-VDR related into it (even by
mistake), it's their fault.

 I know that and what i did - and this might not be suggested (i'm mostly 
 happy user since 7 years now). My question was: Why ?
 
 It should not be necessary for vdr to check at all second (or third) 
 harddisk. Going into directory hierarchy at disk one should be good enough.
 I could understand if vdr would blend into one structure 
 directories/files on all harddisk without the symlinking - but fixing 
 things like that needs to be done manually. So why not drop this 
 checking ? What you expect to gain from checking directories not 
 reachable symlinked from video.00 ? Its not only my use case - but also 
 why vdr should waste time/cpu cycles to do that without gaining something.

I am not going to touch this multi-directory stuff - except for
removing it from VDR altogether. I was never happy with this and
deeply regret ever letting me talk into implementing this...
