Thanks for the help.  I'll try to respond in the order I received
suggestions:

1.  I renamed find_orphans.pl find_orphans.py, same result (I had actually
renamed it find_orphans.pl after seeing another thread call it by that
name, I was pretty sure it didn't matter, as I couldn't explain why it
wasn't working, I was willing to try anything i could find).  I also
searched for the file, and only find the one I created.

2.  I double checked to see if it was executable.  I was before, and still
is after running chmod +x find_orphans.py.

3.  I checked to see if the first line of the script exists in the path the
script expects to see, and it does (/usr/bin/env).

4.  I ran ./mythwikiscripts, and here's what I see:
