Its a bug in one of the other patches we applied to the Xen RPM. I'll fix
it in the next release.

The error above isn't actually the root cause of your problems. What's
happened is that the hotplug scripts for your domain failed to complete
for some reason. Then when XenD is cleaning up from that failure, we
hit the bug above. So wrt to debugging your actual problems, ignore the
error message above. Instead look for a mis-configuration in either your
virtual network card or virtual disk config params.
