Old playlists not available since 10.9 upgrade

[mscroggi]

It gets even a little more odd..  I created new playlists with one item in them.. then copied and pasted the playlist items from the playlist xmls that stopped showing-  I didn't change anything other than adding to the list of playlist items - 

...
  <PlaylistItem>
      <Path>/media/plexbox/AUDIO/Music/Pop-Rock/Van Morrison-Days Like This/01 Perfect Fit.mp3</Path>
    </PlaylistItem>
    <PlaylistItem>
      <Path>/media/plexbox/AUDIO/Music/Blues/Delta_Moon-Howlin/06_howlin_low_country_boil.mp3</Path>
    </PlaylistItem>
    <PlaylistItem>
      <Path>/media/plexbox/AUDIO/Music/Blues/Putumayo Presents_ Zydeco/01 Creole Farmers Stomp.mp3</Path>
    </PlaylistItem>
...

This got all the lost playlists back ..

but -

Today I got a notice of a jellyfin update to 10.9.1  (from 10.9.0) 
I did the update.. and now all the playlist xmls are empty -

root@plexboxvar/lib/jellyfin/data/playlists/x1-pool# cat playlist.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Item>
