ok. I think I figured it out. I changed the advanced features to PDF/X 3 instead of 1 and they are gone now.
Thank you very much for your help.

Looks like a link in the PDF snapshot. Did you have a web address assigned in the xara file? I didn't downlod your file.
Now that would be cool.. Tap the business card with your finger and the card displays their website..
PS - It may be worth reporting this to Xara by means of a support ticket, as it may be an issue with that type of PDF export. I know that I wouldn't want those lines either, and would be quite upset about the wasted printing costs (although I would check the PDF before I sent it to the printer).
Your Xara file has a white outline around the text. So, it is not surprising that the PDF has them too.

The white lines are 'rectangles' around the text boxes, not the letters themselves Gary (which are deliberate)
See the screenshot in post #1
It's also very interesting to examine _your_ PDF file with outlines )
Also, I don't think this is worth to report Xara -- there is not a miracle at all in those white lines, most likely some mistakes from at user end... Want to see the PDF...

I guess I should have posted this.

Sorry, it's large so I couldn't upload it. When you first look at the PDF you can't see them, but when you zoom in you can. At 300% zoom you can see the horizontal line and at 400% zoom you can see the vertical line after the domain name.
Also, the second image on post 1 was a scan of the printed biz card, so you can see the result after it was printed.

Loading your PDF into Xtreme shows the background bitmap is sliced into many very narrow horizontals.
Loading your original .xar file shows you have position 4 tiles of Bitmap2.
Not sure why it should make a difference, but it seems be better to create your 3.82 x 2.23in rectangle and use Bitmap2 as a repeating fill.
Once I did this, exporting as PDF/X showed none of those white lines at any zoom, and neither did the PDF import back into Xtreme all sliced up.
I also had Xtreme crash while exporting (the original) as PDF/X
