I tried supplying the -f option to xen-create-image.  Unfortunately, it 
did not alter the outcome.

Thank you, that solved the problem.  I was then able to run 
xen-create-image again and it recreated the LVs.  To answer Sven's 
question: "What is your actual intention?", I'm trying to rerun 
xen-create-image so that I can create this xen virtual machine. I could 
not do that because it failed trying to recreate the root LV.
