Thanks.  Is there a way to bulk-rebuild my video directory?  I tried
the * wildcard, but mythcommflag errored out:

 movies #mythcommflag --video *
2008-12-06 07:32:06.010 Illegal option: '28_Weeks_Later.mpg' (use --help)

The single movie name appears to work, though:

 movies # mythcommflag --video 28_Weeks_Later.mpg
