Did you have the < character in front of the 1010?  It would probably
help if you were to actually post your entire command line instead of
descriptions of what you did.

Maybe.  You know better than I do, but what if the bash error is in
his command line and it never gets to the python script

I did this in a bash shell just to test:
jeremy at mythbox2011-03-25:~$ find_orphans.py <1010>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `1010'

Just to further drive home the point of the <brackets>:

Those are indicators to you that the word or input that goes there is
something you should fill in, and *****does not***** include the
actual beginning "<" or the ending ">".

This is good, it means the python interpreter is running the code
here, but you only passed one value and it needed three.  The first
value was the python script name which was passed to python as:
sys.argv[0]

the second:
sys.argv[1]
which is stored in the variable: chanid

the third is:
sys.argv[2]
which is stored in the variable: starttime
