Hi Waynder.

I have the feeling that you are mixing up "xbmc" and "xbmcremote".

"xbmc" is the media center on the PC and "xbmcremote" is the remote control on the N900.

If xbmcremote starts up on your N900 and complains that xbmc is too old, you are already fine on the N900. In that case you need to upgrade "xbmc" on your PC.
