Interesting... I'll look into replicating/fixing it.

Two suggested solutions.

set HOME=c:\path\to\a\directory\you\can\write\to\for\the\config\file
xmltv tv_grab_na_dd  --configure

or maybe
xmltv tv_grab_na_nd 
--config-file=c:\path\to\a\directory\you\can\write\to\tv_grab_na_dd.conf

Also notice the "share" directory mentioned when it starts up and make 
sure you can write there

If not,
xmltv tv_grab_na_dd --share=c:\path\to\a\directory\you\can\write\to\xmltv
