In cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread::Action() VDR tries to get a lock on the
video directory. If this fails, it can't remove deleted recordings.

Please add some debug output to this function, to see whether it is called
and whether it gets the lock. If it doesn't get the lock while Plex is
running, try without Plex.
