Sorry, I posted the version from the 1.1.x branch. But that should make no difference.

Well, nothing I could think of. Apparently from the log entries you posted
VDR does go through the "return 1;" statement, but in the runvdr script it
believes the return value is 0.

You could remove the line

  if test $? -eq 0; then exit; fi

from the runvdr script. Then it shouldn't exit from the script at all.
