Can you reboot and see if this resolves the issue.

OK, got it working but it was a bit arduous

First I took a backup of the configuration on the 2GB card.
I then used the Xbian installer to do a fresh install on 8GB card.
I booted Pi with fresh install and it showed as sized for 8GB.
I then tried restoring config and it got stuck in a loop.
So I did another fresh install on 8GB and this time it resized and then tried to resize again and got stuck (as others have already mentioned), so I rebooted and it all seemed OK.
I then ran all the xbian updates before trying to restore config, this seems to have worked.

So to recap
* Copying to a bigger card seems to no longer resize (may be due to intramfs being one of the items in one of the updates)
* Resize on beta 2 fresh install is flakey
* Only restore a config once fully patched up to date.

My only concern is whether or not the resize issue has caused any file system corruption, I hope not.
