In FC6 GA you had to make sure the file for the disk was under /xen
to be labelled correctly. In rawhide (and I think latest FC6 policy)
we're moving to /var/lib/xen/images. To see what the required dir is
run

  semanage context -l | grep xen_image_t

You can also define new locations any time you like using semanage,

 eg

   semanage fcontext -a -f "" -t xen_image_t '/some/directory(/.*)?'
