Why waste your time downloading a patch and then applying the patch?  
Just download the new version, as described at:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore

"the scripts ... were written to work with any version of MythTV.  For 
those users ... wanting updated versions of the scripts, the scripts are 
available for download from the source repository" (and links are given).

That said, it's just a warning, right?  It still works fine even with 
that warning message printed, right?
