Yes, I'll take that out of the wiki. bit rot strikes again.

It should be '/usr/local/bin/mausc_wrapper.py %JOBID%'. That's me  
being lazy and not adding in enough options.

I'll put that in the wiki too.

Once you change the backend settings make sure the channel is not  
marked as commercial-free or it won't run. If you have mythweb set up  
you should be able to see it in the backend status page job queue  
section.
