xbmc-standalone won't start after update

I updated and now xbmc service won't start. When i run startx on my admin user, I can get xbmc to start up, but it won't start as 'xbmc' anymore. When I `su xbmc` and try to run `startx` or `xbmc-standalone` I get the same error. Not sure what's going on.

orwell% sudo systemctl status xbmc -l

I've looked through : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=177770 and it seems to be a similar issue.

If more info would be helpful, just let me know what else I should paste in here.

Re: xbmc-standalone won't start after update

After today's update (version 12.3-11), I get a new error. For the record I've changed PAMName from 'login' to 'su' for debugging purposes.
