Really strange.  Is xen configured as a backend
(ie. ./configure --without-xen or something like that?)

You can also run with debugging enabled, if you configured that:

  LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virsh

which will print a lot more useful info.  (We should really enable
debugging support in configure by default ...)
