If you want a screensaver you could try disabling the operating system screensaver and power features and then trying the built in XBMC ones. These won't put your computer to sleep.
Nope. I am using my Mac for sickbeard, couchpotato and headphones too with system screensaver and sleep permanently disabled. Since XBMC is running on foreground all the time serving all my video needs, I have enabled the screensaver inside XBMC it self through settings --> appearances --> screensaver. It will kick in after 5 minutes of idle in XBMC.
I have tried to lower down to the auto updates settings to 1 hour, but with the screensaver on, it would not run. I still have to run it the updates manually once I am out the XBMC screensaver.
