yup: mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 file.xml
The first "1" is an id for the capture device (check the cardid field in
the  capturecard table). The second "1" is a parameter to define the # of
days from today in the file (-1 means use ALL data in file).

I have never used nxtvep, but there should be a way to configure which
channels to collect.
