From the command line, what's being run is an old PHP 4.4 CGI, not the
PHP 5 that MediaWiki needs. You need to use the PHP 5 CLI to execute the script.
I don't remember for sure, but I don't think deleteOldRevisions.php uses $wgDBadminuser &c - I suspect it falls back to the existing database settings, since those are all that's required.
IIRC, maintenance scripts can be told to use a specific LocalSettings.php with the --config option at runtime.
*Please* back up everything. :)
