I never got the NFS install to work either, at least in recent
versions of the mythtv-xbox scripts.  I actually did it by hand with
an earlier version that didn't support NFS as an install target, but
it was a bit of a pain.  I would suggest that if your only goal is to
get to 0.17 then doing an apt-get upgrade with whatever you've
currently got would be fairly easy.  There are only a very few
packages that are xbox specific despite all the packages with "xebian"
in the version.  I think they include the kernel, nv-drv-xbox,
possibly lirc, and alsa, maybe.  I just avoided upgrading those
packages (since I had no issues with them anyway) and it worked out
just fine.  I think mythmusic used to require an xbox specific version
as well (due to the lack of mixer, maybe) but the generic debian
version from the mythtv repo seems to work fine for me.

Just in case you're interested, here is what I used for my sources.list:
