I just had a google for the pages about Mythexport/Mythimport and it
looks like they have disappeared.  So no wonder you are a bit
mystified.  I have had a go at adding more help on my mythimport.html
page, so please have a read of the new version and let me know if
there is enough there to get you going.  Or if I have made any
mistakes - it is too long ago since I did everything to set up
mythexport and I could easily have missed something or misremembered
something.
