I'm not sure what was hanging it up, but I deleted my old ~/.xbmc, removed the xbmc-common package, and deleted the /usr/share/xbmc directory. Starting from scratch, I reinstalled the xbmc package, and it created ~/.xbmc. The log also says it's trying to read /home/herg/.xbmc/userdata/sources.xml, with no mention of the /usr/share/xbmc/userdata/sources.xml.

Moral of the story: I should have cleaned up everything first rather than trying to install over old stuff.

Thanks, guys.
