I just went through this on my Xen3 install on my personal box. When I did the 
sh ./install.sh the first time, I wasn't paying attention that one of the lines 
errored. The second time I did it(after completely recompiling Xen), I noticed 
that it gave me an error about hotplug.

It turned out I needed to install hotplug. 

Apparently the check scripts don't consider it a failure if it can't copy a 
file into the /etc/hotplug folder.

HTH.
