--refresh-second isn't tomorrow.  It's +2.  Tomorrow is +1 (and today is 
+0).

mythfilldatabase /always/ refreshes tomorrow unless you use 
"--dont-refresh-tomorrow".

So, if you feel you /must/ refresh today (a Saturday night, remember), 
please use the line:

mythfilldatabase --refresh-today

only.  If your mythfilldatabase ran early today and your next scheduled 
run (which is available from the backend status web page or the System 
Status screen in mythfrontend) isn't until tomorrow and you need to 
ensure the proper listings for Sunday, run mythfilldatabase without any 
"--refresh" arguments.

Make sure you also remember other arguments you've specified in 
mythfrontend's configuration, i.e. "--no-delete" or 
"--remove-new-channels" or ...
