I found that the program wasn't on thetvdb, so I created the show on thetvdb.com and entered the Zap2it/SD ID on thetvdb to correspond to what I see in the seriesid column of the recorded table in the mythtv database.  Nothing shows up in Myth.

Are you sure? mythbuntu for one thing does it via cron

 grep jamu /etc/cron.* -r
/etc/cron.daily/mythvideo:    su mythtv -c "/usr/bin/python
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -M >>
'/var/log/mythtv/jamu.log' 2>&1"
/etc/cron.hourly/mythvideo:    su mythtv -c "/usr/bin/python
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MW >>
'/var/log/mythtv/jamu.log' 2>&1"
/etc/cron.weekly/mythvideo:    su mythtv -c "/usr/bin/python
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MJ >>
'/var/log/mythtv/jamu.log' 2>&1"
