Ha! You guys are great! Whitehat---if you hadn't specifically mentioned the XKR badge, I don't think I would have EVER found it! Thanks to all for checking in.
I had actually observed the black "spot" between the X and the KR on the trunk but never made the connection. Got it open now, just fine (no lubrication needed!). It's my wife's car and she loves it! Thanks to all...

Now imagine if you had left the key/fob in the trunk before closing it. Have you a spare to hand, especially if it happened miles away from home?
Until WhiteXKR's de luxe upgrade comes on the market can I offer this

Unfortunately the saga continues, even after reading the owners manual! The battery spent the afternoon on the monster charger at the parts shop and got an "okay" grade. Reinstalled battery, and voila, all lights etc came back on. All seemed well and the engine spins like a top but won't start. Before I run it down again trying, I have a couple more questions:
1. Found a small connector lose adjacent to the positive pole of the battery. Could not find where it connected. Could this be the problem?
2. And if not, did I miss any resets (or similar) that prevent the car from starting? I did not see any mention of such in the manual. There is info on resetting the radio code, "teaching" the windows the rules again, etc. but I didn't see anything on the security, fuel pump, or similar systems.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had no idea about that keyhole until I read this. After all ... honestly - how many people here have completely read through the owners manual *and* remember all of it :-P

Probably should have posted this a long time ago: Just to close out the "engine spins but car won't start" part of my XKR issue, I took the car to Marc at BPC Motorworks on Hilton Head. He's an indie who specializes in exotics but especially Jags---he replaced the pumps in the fuel tank and voila.
Nice work done quickly. Recommended.

That is the ONLY thing powered during transit when the transit relay is installed. The devise is removed during PDI and is supposed to be returned to Jaguar for re-use.
The connector plug has NO USE after the transit relay is disconnected/removed.
The other 1/4' male spade is to energize the relay by 'grounding' the relay coil with the ignition key to provide normal battery function.
