Ok, sorry. I'll open this thread on xen-users list as well. 

Thank you for your help.

Oh, hang on, the problem is probably that you have a version mismatch
between your hypercvisor and your tools in dom0. They need to be installed
from the exact same Xen version. This query should have been posted to
xen-users by the way - it doesn;'t belong on xen-devel.
