After spending about 4-5 hours searching I found NO US or Canadian site that would export FFXIO.

I found one company called Import Madness http://www.importmadness.co.uk/cgi-bin/home but their online store didn't work.

I then found a website for an import shop in London called Computer Exchange www.cex.co.uk They had 3 copies at £50 each including postage. This works out about £6 or so more expensive than import, but since its first class post it shouldn't take too long to arrive (postal strike backlog depending of course).

I ordered Tuesday afternoon, so I should receive my copy soon. I will see if I am able to connect. If not I will be moving to Japan in about a month anyway so it won't be a problem for me. But if I can't connect/sign-up I'll post here ASAP.
