i have video[0123] nfs-mounted. vdr runs as root. vdr creates all these directories and this is what syslog says:
Oct 10 00:10:02 vdr vdr: [3933] remove deleted recordings thread started (pid=3933, tid=3933) Oct 10 00:10:02 vdr vdr: [3933] removing recording /video0/Andromeda/S04E15_Die_letzte_Fahrt_ins_Nichts/2006-05-19.19.15.50.99.del Oct 10 00:11:47 vdr vdr: [3933] remove deleted recordings thread ended (pid=3933, tid=3933)
and guess what: this empty recording is still there. (using only 4k - so it's no big deal ;)

Please try running a plain vanilla VDR and delete a recording with it. Then wait some 5 minutes until VDR actually removes the deleted recording and see whether the empty directories get removed, too.
