i also observe problems with dvdauthor when using mythburn.py :

STAT: Processing /media/external_video-usb1/mythburn_temp/work/details-

************************************************************
ERROR: Failed while running dvdauthor. Result: -11
************************************************************

But then i could build a dvd without menu like this:

dvdauthor -t -a ac3+de -o work/dvd work/1/final.mpg
dvdauthor -T -o work/dvd

Does this point to dvdauthor.xml ?
Hope this helps.
