Put the TileUtil.py script in the same directory as your TileCache 
directory (right next to tilecache.cgi).  Then get yourself to that 
directory and fire up python (run python from the command line).  From 
the python command line,

 >>> import TileUtil
 >>> TileUtil.forceRefresh("http://host/path/to/tilecache.cgi?query")

Note that this is not a "real" tilecache utility, just a quick solution 
to address the same issue you are having.
