Okay, I'm now certain that this is your problem. Grant domain 1 access
using the -w flag and the file will not disappear!
Also, the latest check-in contains a fix to Xenolinux so that you
cannot mount a read-only partition for read-write access. Much saner
:-)
Oh yeah: this is now the latest-semistable release. Please beat up on
it and let us know of any weirdnesses. It's probably a good idea for
us to push out a proper 1.1 release before starting our next batch of
big hacks!
