I used to run SageTV (software PVR) which had a hardware extender. As my RasPi is mainly for XBMC, I'm considering reusing the extender as a case. There's enough room such that I could probably run cables from the ports on the RasPi to the existing cutouts on the SageTV box, and it would fit better ...

Ok, I reflashed the SD card to get to the previous version, (#168 Sat Jul 14) and reinstalled - this time xbmc launched without issue!

Ford,

I'm getting the same error as you. I have the same firmware version, just build yesterday. Before trying the .deb I built the source, but it too produced the "Failed to add service."

I enabled log level 3, but xbmc.log doesn't reveal much. I can post it if needed..
