[mythtv-users] myth.find_orphans.pl does not find orphans in database

My recording harddisk was died. Since July 2009 I have a new one, but in the
database are all of the old recordings still present.

 

I tried

./myth.find_orphans.pl --user=mythtv --pass=5ygpvR0M --database=mythconverg
--dodbdelete

 

It gives me the output:

Summary:

  Host: bauner-backend, Directories: /var/lib/mythtv/recordings

  881 valid recordings, 0 missing recordings

  1758 known media files using 346.7GB

  0 orphaned thumbnails with no corresponding recording

  0 unknown files using 0B

 

The numbers shows the correct count of files in the directory, but the old
entries in the db are not deleted.

 

What can I do to remove the old database entries?

 

Thanks for your help
