I believe RHEL 5.2 ships with the Xen 3.1.x hypervisor and with the Xen
3.0.x userspace utilities.  This means the XML-RPC API available is the
one from Xen 3.0.x, which is rather incomplete.

You may have better luck rolling your own Xen RPMs with a later version
of Xen (such as 3.2.x).  This is what I've done for years on RHEL
production deployments (14+ Xen servers, 200+ VM's) and its worked out
just fine.  Distributions, aside from Gentoo, seem to have a little ways
to go in terms of catching up to current Xen releases.
