How could I trigger an update of the XBMC libraries from the command line?

I wrote a small script [0] to rip an audio disc on insertion (using udev) and store the flac's in $HOME/Music/Artist - Album/ for the user I run XBMC-standalone with. This works fine so far.
Now, after the ripping is done, I would like to update the audio library automagically.

I found http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=81474 but apparently something changed since then:

Code:

# curl --verbose --user xbmc:xbmc --data-binary "{ \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\", \"method\": \"VideoLibrary.ScanForContent\", \"id\": \"xbmc\" }" -H content-type: application/json;" http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc
* About to connect() to localhost port 8080 (#0)

{"error":{"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found."},"id":"xbmc","jsonrpc":"2.0"}

I guess I just need to change this json request a little bit, but I don't know how. Does anyone care to share his/her knowledge?

Thanks, had just a quick look and this looks very promising
will integrate it later.

you could try this

curl --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "id": "mybash"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc
