[Xen-users] Pipe vm-export to vm-import is there a solution?

[Eamon Doran <edoran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm currently runing two citrix xen server 4.0.1. I read that it was 
possible to export to standard out and import from standard in.
This was the solution provided on the forums

# xe vm-export vm=test.vm filename= | ssh xen2 "xe vm-import 
filename=/dev/stdin"
it returns immediately with

Operation failed. Error: No such file or directory: open, .

and then prompts for the ssh password

Is this unsupported in the version of xen I am running? Is there some 
information I can gather to really determine whether it is supported or 
not? Assuming it is supported in a newer version; Could I upgrade my 
tools  to that version without upgrading my kernels?
In an attempt to get around this problem I tried this

#mkfifo /etc/xenexport

# xe vm-export vm=test.vm filename=/etc/xenexport; cat /etc/xenexport | 
ssh xen2 "xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin"
This returned a different error at least.

Operation failed. Error: File exists: open, /etc/xenexport.

Has anyone wrestled with this before? Thank you.
