With find_orphans.py, the script simply tells the backend to delete the 
recordings, then the backend deletes them when it deletes them 
(generally very soon, but could be up to 5min later depending on a bunch 
of factors/settings).  So, if you run find_orphans.py right after you 
told it to delete, it almost always says that they're all (or at least 
most) still there.

Are you actually seeing them elsewhere, like in the frontend or 
MythWeb?  Have they disappeared after some time?
