Do the VSDB errors happen with the skystar2 card? If so, it's is a known problem, but unfortunately not entirely solved yet.
The problem is, that suddenly no interrupts are created anymore. The only solution (but a very rude one) is to reset the flexcop-chip by reloading the drivers.
When does this problem happen? I'm asking because I have a skystar 2 and a pretty old driver (checked out about a year ago) and only have this problem after heavy (or not so heavy) zapping, and it's cured by reloading the driver. I never experienced this problem if staying on the same channel, even for many hours.
In both cases the problem happens: One user reports no irqs occure during a recording. I saw it dying during vdr's pidscan in the background.
Problem is, not all systems are affected: It's not limited to - a specific revision of the card - a specific version of the flexcop (II and IIb) - if IRQ is shared with another device or not - mainboard chipset in use
Just for testing, please try a recent dvb-kernel. Maybe your problem have nothing to do with this problem. (TM) :)
