Due to changes in how mythbackend deletes things, they now get queued
for deletion by find_orphans.py, instead of being actually deleted. So
it thinks it has deleted them, but mythbackend is still working on the
actual deletions of the things that are queued.  So when
find_orphans.py scans again, it thinks things have not been deleted.
What you need to do is to just wait for the deletions to actually
happen, or to tell find_orphans.py to rescan and keep doing that until
you stop seeing things disappear from the list.  What it amounts to is
that find_orphans.py is not completely compatible with current
versions of MythTV and needs updating somehow.
