hmm, spoke too soon. I was watching this one, mythicalLbrarian appeared to have completed its job correctly, I saw the sym-link but then when I checked again a few minutes later it was missing as is any mention of it in MythTV itself!? So perhaps mythicalLbrarian is not to blame after all, sigh.
*edit*
I think I know what it all was now, the myth partition was near full so naturally myth was trying to make room by deleting whatever it could, however it wasn't set to follow sym-links when deleting so naturally the problem became worse with time. I'm moving things around to free up space, switch on "follow sym-links" when deleting and I'm confident this will cure the problem.
Sorry for wasting your time, although it has helped me update and improve things here.
Thanks
