try: 
   <serial type="dev">
      <source path="/dev/ttyS0"/>
      <target port="0"/>
    </serial>

    /dev/ttyS0  of host is connected to port 0 (linux: /dev/ttyS0) of guest.

try:
    <serial type="dev">
      <source path="/dev/ttyUSB0"/> 
      <target port="1"/>
    </serial>
    /dev/ttyUSB0  (usb -> serial adapter) is connected to port 1 (linux: /dev/ttyS1) of guest. 

I works like this on a server of one of my customers.

Don't forget to restart libvirt-bin after changing xml file:
/etc/init.d/libvirt-bin stop   -> start  , then start your guest.
