Unexpected program placement

DirecTiVo, sotware v6.2

I have a season pass for "Airline." (okay, I admit it) I also
have a ARWL using the keyword "Poker." A recent episode of Airline
featured a professional poker player. Rather than this episode being
recorded and placed in the "Airline" folder, it was placed in the
"Poker" folder. I would expect an explicit SP recording to be filed
with the other recordings for that SP. Do ARWL have a higher priority
when TiVo decides where to file the program? Strange.

Which has a higher priority in the Season Pass Manager the ARWL or the
SP?

Airline is #15, the Poker ARWL is #40.

Here are some things that could have caused the ARWL to record it:

- SP is "First Run Only", ARWL is "First Run and Repeats" and the show is
a repeat

- During the scan of the SP list to add things, between the time the SP
was checked and the ARWL was checked, guide data got updated (conflict
gone, show just added, etc.)

- SP was set to record it, got explicitly cancelled by the user, and then
ARWL picked it up on a different showing

Both are set to FRO

This is possible, but it seems very unlikely.

This didn't happen.

Thus far, only the second scenario makes sense and it seems so
unlikely to happen. Oh well.
