Jose,
I just "discovered" that the LinuxMint version, for some reason, did
not include the info package for rec-mode, only that for rec-utils and
I am reading through the rec-mode info. Sorry for all the noise.

In both rec-mode.el versions the default defcustom rec-open-mode is
'navigation.
Looks like a bug.
Try with rec-mode.el from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/recutils.git/plain/etc/rec-mode.el
If that doesnt work, please send us the two versions of rec-mode.el in
question.
