I recently replaced my secondary media storage drive from a 740GB to a 3TB. I formatted the new drive, moved over my media and now for some reason XBMC launches to a black screen.

That's as far as I get. I've been doing some searching and reading but I can't seem to figure out what has happened.
I'm not using the service file to launch XBMC either. Rather I'm following this and this

I have the same issue.
I asked a question as a comment of this https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/1801 but I'm not 100% sure it's related.

Just out of sheer frustration I figured I enable the testing repos and see if any updates there would fix my problem. I updated the with the testing repo and it pulled in a new dbus package that apparently fixed my problem. I'm marking this solved.

Hi zerostar,
I don't know if it was exactly the dbus package to solve your problem. I installed just that from the testing and I still have the same symptom.
I also recompiled the xbmc-git package from AUR but no luck.

OK just to confirm that enabling the testing repository solved the problem for me as well.
These were the updated packages (excluding dbus which I manually upgraded before enabling the repo):
Targets (18): device-mapper-2.02.98-3 filesystem-2012.12-1 isl-0.11-1 libpulse-2.99.2-1 libquvi-0.4.1-2 libssh2-1.4.3-1 linux-3.6.9-1
linux-headers-3.6.9-1 lua-5.2.1-2 lua51-5.1.5-3 lvm2-2.02.98-3 mkinitcpio-0.12.0-1 nmap-6.25-2 pulseaudio-2.99.2-1 talloc-2.0.8-1
vlc-2.0.4-5 xorg-server-1.13.0.901-1 xorg-server-common-1.13.0.901-1
It might be any of those but most likely could be either the kernel or xorg-server* (just for future reference).
