I tried the second one.  Worked great like this:

mbtPdfAsm -mg101105.pdf -uK -sTPopulation_genomics:_patterns_of_genetic_variation_within_populations

-m is followed by a filename or pattern (e.g., g101105.pdf or *.pdf)
-u means "update" and the K means "do not save a backup"
-sT means change the metadata Title field

All spaces in the title must be replaced with underscores, but those are 
converted back to spaces.
