With nearly the same config we did a successfull install of Windows 2008
Server 
on centos 5.3 with xen 3.3.1 64 bit host.

Here some of our configuration parts

vfb = [ "type=vnc, vncdisplay=1, vnclisten=127.0.0.1" ]
keymap = "de"
# Since we use local network connectivity for this machine we have 
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:10, type=ioemu' ]
# Instead of using sda/hda, xvdx is the naming convention one should use
# Starting with booting from iso
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/virt_vm_vg/w2k8_std,xvda,w',
'file:/mnt/os/OS-CDS-ORI/W2K8_STD_X86_64_SB.ISO,xvdc:cdrom,r' ]
# Continue after succesfull install with this stanza 
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/virt_vm_vg/w2k8_std,xvda,w' ]

I think you should be fine with your config but don't forget the part in
your config, 
which chooses the correct device_model, something like this:

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'

# Kernel image file.
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
# Device Model to be used
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
builder = 'hvm'

Regards and good luck,

Guido
