Thanks again.  I was a little skeptical since domain 0 is also failing
to find sunrpc.  Nonetheless, I copied over the entire /lib/modules
directory and the directories containing the symbolic links for source
and build.  I restarted the unprivileged domain and still have the same
problem.

What bit of magic am I missing for something so seemingly simple?

After I have reconfigured the kernel to add NFS server support, I have
not run a make, make modules or make modules_install from the kernel
directory.  Instead, I have run make and make install from the xen
parent directory.  I thought that is what one is supposed to do.  Am I
mistaken? Am I supposed to build the modules in each of the separate
kernel directories? Thanks - John
