XDG data dir is used as persistent storage for BD-J applets. For
example, applet can store current playback position and continue from
there when disc is inserted again. Games can store high scores, ...

http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html :
"There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific data
files should be written. This directory is defined by the environment
variable $XDG_DATA_HOME."

Cache dir is used for downloaded content, updated titles, ... that
BDLive loads from network. If it is removed files are simply downloaded
again.
