MythSExx is the earlier version of mythicalLibrarian. You should be fine.
Let me know if there are any problems. Report them right away and I can make changes, then you can run mythicalLibrarian --update to apply the changes.

let me explain a bit more what I am looking at doing
I run mythtv on one network
I run xbmc on other network
the networks are connected for 1 to 2 hours every day via the internet
I am using SYMLINK=LINK
on the mythtv side:
the video are moved from 60GB hard drive to 1000 hard drive and are expired when there is a lack of free space
on the XBMC side:
a list of videos that have been watched and X number of days old are deleted (and noted in a exclustion file)
rsync is run with the exclustion file to download the videos from mythtv
the part that is missing is to remove old symbolic links when mythtv expires the videos

You will want to run mythicalLibrarian in MOVE mode. It places a symbolic link in place of the original and lets MythTV control the file by following the symlink to delete or serve the file. MOVE mode is the correct choice in 99.9% of the situations. MOVE mode lets mythtv control the files and XBMC control the content. Link was just added because someone requested it. Move is the all-around supported option.

SVN:496 = symbolic links generated in LINK mode are handled the same as any other file accessory like comskip info or NFO files. Symlinks are now logged in the ~/.mythicalLibrarian/created.tracking and checked for validity on each run of mythicalLibrarian. Invalid created.tracking files are deleted.
tom: please test it and make sure everything works well so it can be committed as stable.
