ppa installs to /usr/share/xbmc and the launching script is in /usr/bin

for manual install, it's /usr/local/share/xbmc and /usr/local/bin by default.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

Your right,

It looks like i was linking to an old build of the PPA when XBMC launched.

Many thanks,

How often are the stable packages updated? Is there any information anywhere on when the current ones were built?

The stable package are updated when the Team XBMC decide for a new release (alpha or beta) . It hadn't been update since months .

As of the date of publication, it's written on the PPA pages:
eg. for Gutsy : https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-gutsy/+archive

xbmc - 2.1a2-gutsy2 (changesfile) wattazoum 2008-05-18

Any plans on making the PPA SVN builds automatic? (I'm assuing they are not at the moment, since they don't seem to be daily as advertised).

They're daily so long as SVN compiles that day. Today was not one of those days.
