ERROR when trying to autoexpire file

How do I clean up this message or data?
I assume some bad data some how file was deleted and database not updated
note a video/store//2003_20060304131909.mpg.png file exists but no mpg file

ERROR when trying to autoexpire file:
/video/store//2003_20060304131909.mpg. File doesn't exist. Database
metadata will not be removed

The backend requires that the data file exist before it'll purge
it from the db. So:

touch /video/store/2003_20060304131909.mpg

to create the file and the backend won't have any complaints
next time round.

Or, in 0.19, just go in and delete it manually. It will pop up a dialog
notifying you that the file doesn't exist and asking if it should still
be deleted from the DB. Say yes, and you'll never get the autoexpire
error again.
