The user no longer sets the command line options for metadata
scripts-- in .23, if a script is to be used, it needs to conform to:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_Grabber_Script_Format

Specifically:  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_Grabber_Script_Format#The_Language_Option_.28-l.29

Basically, if you want to use the script, you'll need to edit it to
conform to all the requirements of a metadata script in .23.
