[mythtv-users] Can't get mythfilldatabase to fill database

MythTV Users,

I'm trying to get my program guide up and running.

First question: is it possible to get myfilldatabase up and running 
entirely within the MythTV interface? All the instructions I know of 
seem to require going to the command line.

In any case, this is what I've tried so far:

I downloaded the XMLTV script for my region and ran the configure command:

$ tv_grab_jp --config-file tv_grab_jp.conf --configure

I selected the channels I wanted and then ran the command to create an 
XML file:

$ tv_grab_jp --config-file tv_grab_jp.conf --output jtv.xml

And then I tried to fill the database with the information in the XML file:

$ mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 jtv.xml
2008-09-21 21:56:16.741 Bypassing grabbers, reading directly from file
illegal option: 'jtv.xml' (use --help)
2008-09-21 21:56:16.741 DataDirect: Deleting temporary files

It doesn't seem to have done anything.

Am I going about this the right way?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
