[transcode-users] can't use dvdauthor

["BrianO'Keefe" <okeefe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have finally worked my way to almost creating a dvd from a .avi file. 
I have transcoded and recombined the files into an Mpeg and now need to 
use dvdauthor. I'm following the wiki how-to and I have created the DVD 
directory as well as copied the script to create the dvdauthor.xml file. 
When I try to run dvdauthor I get:

brianokeefe@xxxxxx:/media/For_Linux/Movies/DVD$ sudo dvdauthor -x 
dvdauthor.xml
Password:
DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.6.11.
Build options: gnugetopt magick iconv freetype
Send bugs to <dvdauthor-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

ERR:  Unable to open XML file dvdauthor.xml


I've tried running it as user, I've tried running it in the directory 
above, "Movies" which contains the mpeg file and nothing-same error.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
Brian
