If this is your command, I don't think it is correct.  I believe it should be 
(-x dvd.xml) and you don't need a directory.   dvdauthor will build one for 
you with (dvdauthor -o output -x dvd.xml)  Creating the directory output 
where your results will be found.

Did you create your dvd.xml file correctly?  Post a copy of your dvd.xml file
