How did you jailbreak it? Is it a tethered jb if so you need to reconnect it to your computer and re tether. Or restore apple iOS via iTunes and jailbreak with greenposi0n which is a un tethered jb so if your power is lost it does not matter.

Sounds like you need a tethered boot...

OK I did a tethered boot with seasonspass 2 weeks ago and then I used the atv2 without any problems. I did a XBMC update some days agao, with also no problems.
Is it really necessary to do a tehthered boot again in order to able to access the xbmc feature on the atv2? Do I have to reinstall XBMC again after I have re-tethered the atv2?

A tethered JB has nothing to do with XBMC. If you power down the AppleTV or reboot it or anything, it will require a tethered boot. I'm not sure how tethered boots work with anything other than redsn0w (as I've only had to tether boot iPhones before), but it sounds like you just did a restore / rejailbreak instead of a tether boot and it cleared all your settings.
I'd suggest just jailbreaking with an untethered version of whatever your favorite jailbreak tool is. I know pwnagetool and greenpoison both have untethered jailbreaks available. Not sure about season pass.
