I wish I knew why it wasn't working - looks exactly like mine did.
Have you tried using a laptop (or long network cable) and getting all items in the same hub?
Also I'm assuming that the machine you're connecting from is in he same IP range (not all are if you;re using home wireless/bridging etc)

Since I don't have a Mac, I did a similar thing to get my ATV accessible. The first time I did the DD on a 1GB usbstick and it was too small to fit the ~1GB file. I noticed the in / out bytes summary at the end of the using DD didn't match up. I tried the stick anyway and it booted and looked just like that screenshot however it didn't work.
I did the dd on the image again this time to a 2GB usbdrive and presto, ssh was working. So, lesson learned was make sure you usbstick is big enough.

Thanks, Lumpsack. I am also able to use your method to get XBMC up and running on Apple TV.
Just to point out that the issue I encountered was not being able to SCP files into Apple TV. WinSCP pops out an error code 126. My solution is to SSH into the box and modify the permission for 'scp' in /usr/bin.
# sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/scp

Theres a thread on here somewhere going over compatible USB devices - I had the same issue with mu first one, but a Transcend JetFlash V30 2GB did the job for me.

Well I ran out and picked up a Sandisk 2gb Cruzer since it was listed as a working drive, and I'm still running into the same problem. After boot where it says "Caused Wake Up Event" it just repeats "Waiting for Root Device" and won't go any farther. I am unable to follow the instructions exactly since I can't use dd-removable (it always says that the device does not match the filter removable), so I'm using dd which allows it to format. However, I also can't run it on partition0 since it always says access is denied, I have to run it on partition1.
I'm not sure what else to try at this point!
