It hangs because you exit xbmc before watchdog have completely started. Either your network share isn't responding or it is very slow. Give it enough time to start, and it wont hang on exit. It's a known limitation. In the upcoming update for Gotham it is much better handled with a progress bar showing when it's safe to exit.

Hmm. I've tried just starting it and letting it stand, but nothing appears in the log after "Unloading: libImageLib-arm.so" until the automatic shutdown triggers, and then the exact same hanging behaviour occurs (http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=191234)

The network share is connected to through ethernet, running on a fast server PC, and I've never had any noticeable delay when browsing it or playing video from it...

Is there any way to tell by watching the log or anything when the watchdog finishes scanning?

Thanks for taking the time to look at this, by the way.

Edit: I also checked playing a video off the network share before shutting down, just to verify that it was accessible and working made no difference, it still hung on exit. If it's hanging because it can't access the network share, then could it be using some other method of accessing it than XMBC itself does?
