[mythtv-users] find_orphans fails

I'm running:

2:29.1+fixes.20180412.329c235-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2

on Ubuntu 17.10.  I removed a number of recordings from the command line
while I was archiving my shows.  I was planning on using find_orphans to
remove the references in the database but that step isn't working.  When I
run it, it lists the "Recordings without files", and when I try to delete
the recording entries, nothing happens.

I saw a patch for find_orphans on the mailing list from a bit of time ago,
but that didn't work either.  I'm using the find_orphans from the wiki page
that says it works with .29, but I'm just having a problem with it.

Is find_orphans still the right script to use to remove the references from
the database, or should I be using something else?

Thanks!
