Line 131-136 of your xbmc.log shows that XBMC found your custom xml. However, it had trouble loading it.
Sounds like a file permissions issue.
When you issue the chmod and chown, make sure to be logged in as root. As the root user, you have power to change permissions (chmod) and ownership(chown) of the files.
I would start with using a terminal. (Windows users can download and use the putty.exe)
ssh root@ip_of_atv2_here
enter alpine as the password
then the following commands:
The first line resets the permissions to what it should be.
The second line gives the mobile user ownership.
The reason is because all apps launched by the ATV2 runs as the mobile users. So if the permission/ownership isn't set properly. XBMC will not be able to make changes to the user directory or read things from it. The result is weird errors and issue occurs.
