I tried this a couple of months ago with an Pi2, and it's working great

I had to repeat the process above 2 times, went back to a backup of this SD-card in between, but at the eind it works as expected: only bootcode.bin on a FAT formatted card and it boots further from USB. Great!
With df -h I checked available file size and my full 32Gb is now accessible. Main issue solved. By running sudo fdisk -l I also found a SWAP file mounted on /dev/sda3, so that seems good too now!

Pew, that's fine. Each issue has it's reason

Very well possible, good that you found a reason! (although I only followed the backup to USB procedure from xbian-config at the time)

The main idea behind an image backup is to get an image, which can be written to sd-card and boot from it without the need of any modification. But in your case, you have to modify it because boot from sd-card and run system from external usb device (means /boot and rootfs is on different devices) is not supported per default w/o modification of /boot/cmdline.txt and /etc/fstab

Quote:Please help me with my /etc/fstab content. I see for instance 2 identical lines with an UUID. With your help I might streamline my fstab as well and have a proper functioning system left.

Code:

#
# Configured /etc/fstab for XBian system
#
/dev/root                       /home                   xbian   subvol=home/@,noatime,nobootwa$
/dev/root                       /lib/modules            xbian   subvol=modules/@,noatime,noboo$
/dev/root                       /                       xbian   noatime,nobootwait,rw         $
UUID=4D28-F2B5                  /boot                   xbian   noatime,rw,private            $
UUID=4D28-F2B5                  /boot                   xbian   noatime,rw,private            $
none                            /run/user               tmpfs   noauto                        $
none                            /run/shm                tmpfs   noauto                        $
none                            /run/lock               tmpfs   noauto                        $
/dev/root                       /xbmc-backup            xbian   subvol=data/@,noatime,rw      $

Your /etc/fstab looks a bit strange

The lines at the end seems to be truncated, and where does the $ sign came from ? The duplicate UUID=4D28-F2B5 /boot ... line can be deleted, no problem. Here is the fixed version:
