From glorp: Here is a thread with some of the mcupdate switches. -dbgc (db garbage collection) deletes old schedule data from the database and compresses so I thought it might have a shot at repairing or restarting guide, whatever. Just not sure if -dbgc works all by itself. See second post in link below.

There is a way to only update the guide in WMC but its a pain with cable card setups. This might be useful to someone later on, and the rest of the topic has more useful information relating to the guide.
