Yep, that's a bug in xenguest-install.py using a read only connection to
libvirt. It'll need to be fixed in a xen RPM errata - since I have one
scheduled very soon, it should easy to slip this in too. In the meanwhile
just edit the xenguest-install.py script and at line 324 change

    conn = libvirt.openReadOnly(None)

To

    conn = libvirt.open(None)

Regards,
Dan.
