mytharchivehelper -n will do that but you need to pass it a job file
which is just an xml file detailing which recordings or mythvideo files
you want to archive.  Currently the only way to create the job file is
by using the mytharchive plugin to create it though there is nothing
stopping you doing that once and then hand editing the job file to
create other archives. You should have a job file in the config
directory in mytharchives work directory after creating a native archive
using mytharchive.
