Paul,

You probably want to look at myth.find_orphans.pl in SVN
(http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl).
It may also be distributed with some precompiled binary packages, but
I'm not sure.

It will look for both orphaned media files and orphaned DB entries and
allow you to fix them both.

Nick
