What you are seeing is the accumulated audio "error" or time-sync loss. Depending on hardware/settings this may accumulate quickly and reset as XBMC keeps the sync. I'm pretty sure based on what you report that you had "Adjust display refresh to match video" enabled - and if you're sure that the value didn't reset often during your watching then you can be happy that your 520gt is keeping quite close to the actual video rate

So I stop the movie and play again and everything is back to normal ten minutes later it happens again. I am using nVidia GTX 460, and DDDamian build however I am not using the AV delay advanced settings combo. Anyone else experience this?
This is the dreaded sync loss discussed earlier. Make sure your nVidia drivers (including the HDMI audio driver) are the very latest. I believe the nVidia controls allow for some tweaks to the 23.976hz refresh rate that AMD/ATI doesn't, but you'll have to research this. Tune that. Unfortunately the Global AV Delay won't help you here, but the driver update/tweak may help. If not you have to either replace the card, wait for a better solution or try unchecking the TrueHD passthrough and decode to LPCM for TrueHD. This is not such a bad thing (still lossless) unless it's a 24bit TrueHD track. See earlier posts for the whole 16bit/24bit thing.
