ok I grabbed the file myth.find_ophans.pl from the 0.21 svn repository 
and ran it with the correct options. ( i had to force the recording dir 
as the entry in my DB is incompatible as its still running 0.20.x)

It returned that all my recording (640GB worth) were orphans. So it 
doesn't work for me.

Does anyone have an idea how to do this on an old 0.20 system?
