I also saw this error (on yesterday's pull), haven't had to diagnose it yet.
Apparently this message is something to do with Xend detecting a failure /
problem with the hotplug scripts... Ewan (cc'ed) suggested I check my
hotplug / udev setup was working and that I look for hotplug-related errors
in the main syslog.
