  Make sure you are using the latest version, i.e. libvirt-0.1.3 as 0.1.2
had that problem, which was solved since.

(I manually changed path to NULL so that I can run it when root and it works even if info.maxMem it's different from when the program is run as a normal user: it shows -4 instead of 464896).

  If you use 0.1.3 it won't touch the xenstore backend and use xend access
which is preferable, make sure you upgraded and are using the right libraries.
