That developer told you to use --dd-file instead of --file.

$ mythfilldatabase --help
...

--dd-file                       Bypass grabber, and read SD data from file
   --lineupid                      DataDirect lineup of input xml file
   --offset                        Day offset of input xml file
   --xmlfile                       XML file to import manually


after using tv_grab_na_dd --dd-data to get a raw-format Schedules 
Direct/DataDirect listings file.
