That's not saying the files are unavailable, it's saying that it
couldn't download the relavent metadata from that file.

How many of the programmes you are trying to get are outside the 7 day

You can't use the PVR to download outside the 7 day window[1].

Also, see here[2] regarding the appearance of some programmes older than
7 days in the cache thanks to recent feed changed by the BBC
