I tried creating the boot image in OSx as well as on a Win7 machine. They both allow me to select the drive and both show me that they're booting and then blammo - black screen.
These are Lexar 8GB drives. Any other ideas I can try in the absence of a HDMI cable?

nothing to do with HDMI vs DisplayPort.
just to be clear, you are downloading the OpenELEC 4.0.4 Generic x86_64 tar file, decompressing, then running the createinstallstick utility to set up the USB stick?
Yes, that's exactly what I did... I did it in both OSx and in Win7 with the exact same result. Right now I'm writing a Chromium OS image to a drive to try to see if I can get anywhere with that.
I'm starting to think that this is a monitor issue - I'm trying to go DisplayPort to HDMI into a Samsung SyncMaster T24. It's acting like it can't adjust to display the resolution properly or something...
