Is myth.find_orphans.pl safe to run on 0.22?

I am wading to run the "myth.find_orphans.pl" because of these entries
in the backend log -
2010-01-18 09:59:32.863 ProgramInfo, Error: GetPlaybackURL:
'1131_20100118100000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.
2010-01-18 09:59:32.865 ProgramInfo, Error: GetPlaybackURL:
'1431_20100118100000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.
2010-01-18 09:59:32.868 ProgramInfo, Error: GetPlaybackURL:
'1331_20100116210000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.
2010-01-18 09:59:32.871 ProgramInfo, Error: GetPlaybackURL:
'1431_20100115200000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.
2010-01-18 09:59:32.875 ProgramInfo, Error: GetPlaybackURL:
'1131_20100112203000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.
2010-01-18 09:59:32.879 ProgramInfo, Error: GetPlaybackURL:
'1331_20100109210000.mpg' should be local, but it can not be found.

But I can't tell if it has been updated to work with 0.22. I found this
line in the script -
my $revision = "0.21";

I'd like to fix problems without creating new ones :-)

I'm not sure about your question. I trashed all my recordings when I
used this script. Granted I really didn't know what I was doing. And
I had moved the default recording location on my Mythbuntu setup.

Currently I just use symlinks for storage in other then default places.

I see these messages every once and a while. I delete them using
Mythweb. A good indication of the problematic recordings is no
preview image in Mythweb.

It would be nice to know if the orphan script is valid for .22 because
I think it's a useful script.

Jim,
I ran the script on my 0.22 database to get rid of exactly those types
of errors, and I have not noticed any ill effects-

I have run it using the --dryrun option and it produced a valid looking
list. I'm just afraid that their may be new tables in 0.22 that this
script is not aware of.

Let's just say that it's an unmaintained, legacy script and all risks
are assumed by the person who runs it.

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore (FWIW, but it
won't help if you don't notice problems immediately).

I use it mostly for inserting recordings from different sources than
MythTV and experienced no problems so far with 0.22.
