I'm running gnupod as part of a bash script, so the exact line looks
like this:

gnupod_addsong.pl -p "$plist" --playlist-is-podcast --set-shuffleskip\
--set-bookmarkable "$podcast"/*

where $podcast is the directory of the podcast
and $plist=`basename $podcast`

The script also runs mktunes.pl after it does everything.

In GnuTunesDB.xml the playlists look as you described except there is
also a plid="24342" attribute (different numbers for each one).

I'll try the CVS version to see if it acts any differently.

Thanks,
Drew
