Thanks for the quick reply.  You were right on the money.  I apparently wasn't connecting to XBMC.   I had the port set to 8080.  I didn't want to use the HTTP default because I have a webserver running on another system on my network.  I set the port to the default (80) and all is well.  Now that I've got it working, I intend to donate but it won't be until early February when my next allotment arrives.  Thanks again.

First, much kudos on a great piece of software.  I am able to perform some of the basic commands in XBMC. I am having an issue though trying to GenXML for my movies.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit. XBMC is Dharma RC2.  VoxCommando is 0.851.   I am running both programs as administrator and have XBMC already running when starting VoxCommando.  Attempting to GenXML throws the following error.
