I am upgrading all the components on my ATB to XT
components. I ordered a new 9-speed M-750 cassette. My
question is, do I have to put a new rear hub on the bike
as well made specially for the 9-speed or will the 9-speed
cassette work with my current hub (which has always had a
7-speed cassette on it)? Thanks.

No, 8 and 9 speed are interchangeable but not 7. You can
change the freehub portion of your hub and respace the axle.

It's possible to faff around with new freehubs and the like,
but in essence, you need a new hub.
