Was running as su pi -c before, so added this to the rc.local line, and change the logfile to t8.txt.

ran /etc/rc.local to kick it off again and got this message

pi@raspbmc:~$ ./etc/rc.local
-bash: ./etc/rc.local: No such file or directory
pi@raspbmc:~$ /etc/rc.local
Password:
FATAL: The task you wish to perform requires a valid path specified
in the property "bin.tvservice".

The current value [None]
is either not set or cannot be accessed.

Check settings in properties file texturecache.cfg
pi@raspbmc:~$

Interestingly it asked for a password, probably cause it was a root owned file.
But the other message about bin.tvservice??
