Is there a media scraper similar to Ember Media Manager or Media Companion runs natively on Ubuntu Linux. I've searched this forum, Google and every place else I can think of to find a solution. I've tried running Ember through WINE also to no avail. I'd appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

Short answer = not that I know of.
I use EMM-R through VirtualBox [WinXP]. Just point the VM at your media through a shared folder and it works like a dream.
AnyDVD + EMM are about the only things I still need windows for. ;-)

you can run Ember "nativ" on linux using mono. I tried it some while ago but had trouble with shared folders and symbolic links (maybe fixed already). And there is somewhere a young project written in Java (sorry, can't remember the name).

I'm also looking for a media-scraper for XBMC, being natively for linux. It would be nice to have it download all the content, like fanart, posters, trailer, ... right into the local folder. And not in a separate database as XBMC does. Anyone ideas?

I struggled with wanting a media manager for linux for quite a long time. People said use wine and a windows one, but it never worked out well.
SickBeard and Couch Potato were released and I was finally happy with what they did. It automatically searches and writes nfo's and makes things work great.
I'd recommend what rflores said; try couch potato and sickbeard.

SickBeard is for Usenet, it's almost completely useless for anything else, such as torrents which many people use, and is does not function as just a media scraper.
I'm also looking for this, but all I'm after is a simple episode still (tbn) scraper, but the only help I've found is,
'yeah that's real easy in PHP/curl'
Which is very helpful, and true! It is real easy to learn an entire new language in order to just get a media scraper :S
