Digging deeper I found this in my Xorg log.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.
After I ran "sudo modprobe nvidia" I was able to "sudo /usr/sbin/lightdm" and bring up XBMC as the first poster.
It would seem the NVIDIA kernel module is not being loaded correctly at boot time for me.
Which is odd because acording to syslog it loads without error
Edit: While I'm not sure if it is an ideal (or safe) solution I do have one for my issue.
The following seems to have fixed my issue.
Use the above at your own risk as my knowledge of Linux is out of date by a few years so my above solution may cause unforeseen side effects
