Members with this model will know better than I do but just to eliminate settings before considering possible faults - is the vehicle in Valet Mode? This is from the XF Owner's Handbook:

(click on the image to enlarge it)
I only ask the question because Valet Mode disables the lock button on the rear hatch of my XK and Jaguar tend to copy design features across a number of models.

I have the wiring harness problem the moment, you can pull the boot that contains the wiring harness between the car and the trunk and have a look at the wires.
My 2010 gives a trunk open warning at the moment, the car will not allow itself to be locked when the warning is on...so its a bit of a problem. Jag told me there's an updated harness that's a bit more flexible and apparently there's a bulletin out there on the subject.
I didn't do any looking around for the harness...too man things to do...I just paid Jag a disgusting amount to order it in...
