You could use the recording script for that pupose
e.g.:

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
     before)
            echo $2 >> /var/vdr/running_recordings
            ;;
     after)
            cat /var/vdr/running_recordings | \
             grep -v "$2" > /var/vdr/running_recordings~
            mv -f /var/vdr/running_recordings~ \
             /var/vdr/running_recordings
            ;;
     *)
            echo "ERROR: unknown state: $1"
            ;;
     esac

of course this is a bit crude (e.g. no locking) but you can enhance it
:)
