I have installed the nightly build: xbmc-20110904-a2098db-master-atv2.deb
I am streaming files from a Time Capsule via SMB.
Movie scraping works fine.
TV scraping through tvdb still doesn't work, although I no longer get the 'cannot connect to server' error.
On scanning my TV Shows, it managed to find data for GAME OF THRONES, but that was all.
I then tried going to an individual show of BattleStar Galactica and searching TV Information on just that one episode. I was asked for the name of the show, and had to enter simply BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, I then selected the 2003 series from the options list and it then found the data for that specific episode with no issue. However, I have to do this with every single episode - no autoscan...
My Battle Star Galactica Files look like this on my disk:
TIME CAPSULE USB HD
-VIDEOS
--TV
---Battle Star Galactica
----BattleStar.Galactica.S04E01.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv
So the scraper seems to be having issues parsing some show names from the correctly formatted episode names. When it fails, it just stops so it's hard to know which ones are causing the issue - or why as they look fine to me.

The TV scraper uses the directory name as well as the file names. Make sure the folder names are the same as the series name. Battlestar is not two words.

Scrapers can be painfully picky about file title. The first problem is your parent folder is "Battle Star Galactica" with a space between "battle" and "star". Instead name that parent folder "Battlestar Galactica (2003)"
Next clean up the file name. I did a test and was able to get a perfect scrape using "Battlestar Galactica S04E01.mkv"
If you don't want to rename all your files you can take a look at this thread that explains how to modify/add regex to get some better scraping results (depending on the situation):
