You need to pass the full path to mydata.xml so the script can find it.

Did you mean to use /usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/ as the work
directory? I'd start by setting up a proper directory to use as the work
directory and make sure the user running mythfrontend has read/write
permissions on it and also make sure there is *lots* of free space
available as creating a DVD can create some big temporary work files.
