What worked for me when adding centos iso images:

#create a directory to store isos
mkdir -p /var/opt/xen/iso_import/centos57
#put an iso there
mv CentOS-5.7-x86_64-bin-1of8.iso /var/opt/xen/iso_import/centos57/
#add it as an SR
xe sr-create name-label=centos57 type=iso 
device-config:location=/var/opt/xen/iso_import/centos57 
device-config:legacy_mode=true content-type=iso

The trick here is to create a subdirectory same as your name-label (looks like 
official documentation expects this to be done but never mentions that)

After adding more isos to that directory, 'xe sr-create' needs to be run again 
with the same parameters for them to appear in xe vdi-list
