I *believe* from what an earlier poster commented on - it was trying to 
connect via 'mythtv' host with user 'mythtv', but, user mythtv did not 
have a password in your database.  You can either assign one (which is 
probablly neccessary for myth, IIRC), or, for the immediate time being, 
edit the script and set the hostname:

my $opt_host =          hostname;
40 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L40> 
	my $opt_dbhost =        $opt_host;
41 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L41> 
	my $opt_database =      "mythconverg";
42 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L42> 
	my $opt_user =          "mythtv";
43 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L43> 
	my $opt_pass =          "mythtv";
44 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L44> 
	my $opt_ext =           "{nuv,mpg,mpeg,avi}";
45 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L45> 
	my $opt_dir =           "";
46 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L46> 
	my $opt_dodelete =      0;
47 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L47> 
	my $opt_dodbdelete =    0;
48 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L48> 
	my $debug =             0;
49 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L49> 
	my $opt_help =          0;
50 
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/myth.find_orphans.pl#L50> 
	


As the above shows...it defaults a password of 'mythtv'.  You have 2 
options now:  Set opt_pass = '' (two single quotes) - not sure if that 
will work or set opt_dbhost = 'localhost'
