I put together a script to do exactly this several months ago.

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-23-fixes/mythtv/contrib/user_jobs/mythvidexport.py

The script will copy any TV show or Movie into your MythVideo folder, 
with a user defined filename format (the defaults work with the above 
parsing scheme), and pull any respective metadata from your MythVideo 
defined grabbers.
