If the VCR_CMD is recording fine minus the audio. Then you can use it
and use VCR_PRE_REC and VCR_POST_REC scripts for the sound, that way you
won't have problems stopping a recording when it is busy, you will when
you use a shell script for recording. see :

Also check that you don't have multiples local_conf.py files
(~/local_conf.py - /etc/freevo/local_conf.py)
