Doesn't look like your atv2 is connected to the Internet. Easiest thing to do is plug it directly into your router (this should get it on the Internet and eliminate any potential wireless issues).

I assume you've been able to ssh into your atv2. Are you able to ping any Internet hosts? For example:

Code:
Apple-TV:/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences root# ping mirrors.xbmc.org
PING mirrors.xbmc.org (212.110.166.220): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 212.110.166.220: icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=101.231 ms
64 bytes from 212.110.166.220: icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=102.160 ms
64 bytes from 212.110.166.220: icmp_seq=2 ttl=51 time=147.304 ms

Grasping at straws but I wonder if there's something wrong with the syntax of your xbmc.list file. Here's mine, notice the blank line (although not sure it matters, try with/without).

Code:
Apple-TV:/etc/apt/sources.list.d root# cat xbmc.list
deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./

Apple-TV:/etc/apt/sources.list.d root#

If that still doesn't work here's an untested way to clean out your apt-get/dpkg crap that might help. It looks pretty harmless and worst case is you jb again... less time consuming than troubleshooting at times. Btw, any clues in /var/log/syslog? If no one else is having the prob and none of this pans out I'd just restore iOS 4.3 and jb /w Seas0npass and go from there.
