Hi Rohde,

tks for taking your time for debugging the upstart script.

This has been fixed already in the SVN and the XBMCLive beta1 already 
includes the fix. Next PPA will include the fix as well.

the autostart parameter comes from the kernel cmdline:

18	        CMDLINE=$(cat /proc/cmdline)
19	
20	        #Process command line options
21	        XBMC_PARAMS=""
22	        for i in ${CMDLINE}; do
23	                case "${i}" in
24	                xbmc\=*)
25	                      XBMC_PARAMS=$(get_opt $i)
26	                      ;;
27	                esac
28	        done
29	        echo $XBMC_PARAMS > /tmp/xbmcliveParams

that is copied to the tempfile for the upstart job to execute some tasks 
as early as possible.

As per the grep line modify it as

if [ ! "$(grep -i autostart /tmp/xbmcliveParams)" ] ; then

or

if ! grep -i -q autostart /tmp/xbmcliveParams ; then

And you will be good (already fixed in SVN).

right, not related to upstart job; rather an issue of policykit setup on 
your system (just guessing).
