Will do - cheers
On a side note, I've did a manual TAR backup of my .xbmc folder end of Jan and have now used it following this latest crash.. but my Pi is crawling through library scans and also library navigation.
Do you think this would have anything to do with incompatibility?
I also deleted all the databases, thumbnails and texture db so could it be caching and will speed up?
Any thoughts?
I'm starting to wonder if the USB install is worth it now with the new file system.. my SD install on my 256 pi is faster and seems more stable than my USB install on my 516 pi.... and it is a good 3.0 USB stick

Yes have that disabled... but my navigation and scanning was crawling along last night following my manual installation of an old .xbmc backup - I was just wondering if that old copy of the .xbmc folder would have caused any conflicts which would have made my pi slow.
I'm starting to think I need to have a go without the USB for a while
One last question - the SD install .xbmc back up much much smaller than the USB folder (don't have exact sizes to hand but I think the USB is MB while the SD is KB in size) .. any idea why it would be so different? I'm wondering if something odd is going on there.

.xbmc contains the userdata, so you can easily check why it´s smaller.
Addons and thumbnails is the ones that most of the time are the biggest folders.
Databases can also be quite big, and addon_data as well depending on what addon one uses (for example, if you use artwork organizer this is the default place it will store extracted fanart etc.).
The rest should be quite small as it is mostly xml files.
If the thumbnail folder is smaller/bigger it might be that everything is not cached, but could also be that a lot of art and thumbnails from addons etc. is cached/not chached.
It all depends on the setup and the usage.

Ah yes maybe the add ons could be the issue .. the databases are from the same sources so should be the same but the addons are different on each pi so that would make the most sense.

Nice one, very good.
Still a bit stumped that you cannot choose it in GUI though. If anybody has an idea let me know.
