spiff has basically signposted the problem for you I think.
If the Myth machine name is "Samus" then this is what needs to be resolvable on the XBMC machine. This is because the MythTV server generates URLs that XBMC uses and it uses the local machine name in constructing these. As spiff has mentioned, if this can't be resolved, poop follows.
Try adding this into the hosts file on the XBMC machine
192.168.2.37 Samus

mythbox uses the myth api i believe, we go behind myth's back and read directly from the database. hence the difference.

Turning off thumbnails seems to have fixed the issue.
Thanks again for all the help. Now my wife can stop complaining about all he money I "sunk" in to the HTPC.

the entry you put in hosts on the client machine MUST match the dns name of the myth tv server. The backend will give the client it's own hostname, and ask the client to connect to that.
Thus if your mythbackend's name is "Samus", that is what you must put in your hosts file on the client running xbmc.
