This is slightly more interesting than I first thought - there is a name
uniqueness check being performed, but it only appears to be done if the
UUID's are different. ie, if I have 2 config files with same name, but
different UUIDs, XenD correctly refuses to start the 2nd. If I have 2
config files with same name & same UUID, it happily starts both.
