First, check if you gave the right arguments to the script because your command looks incorrect. Try this:

orthomclBlastParser my_blast_results my_orthomcl_dir/compliantFasta >> my_orthomcl_dir/similarSequences.txt

Next, check and make sure you properly ran orthomclAdjustFasta and produced correctly formatted sequences prior to running your blast job. Last, and most importantly, don't run jobs as root.
