Hi,
Assuming all the named files ("xen-3.3.2-rc5.gz",
"vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen", and "initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen") exist, and are in
a subdirectory called "boot" of (hd0,0), I have seen a related problem
which was unintuitive to track down:

Does the file "/boot/grub/default" exist? If not, run "grub-set-default
0" to create it. Without this file existing and properly sized, it's
actually the "savedefault" line that fails because grub doesn't have the
intelligence to create or resize files, only modify existing content.
