Yesterday I had the same problem as you ;-)

Yes, that would be a good idea. This problem appeared here with
the directory /var/run/xend, too. This directory should also be
created by start of xend, e.g. the init script or xend itself.

Why do the xen tools (like xm) display such boring error messages, e.g.
omitting the name of the file? Yesterday I searched a lot of time with
strace to find the reason why my domU did not start...

Each poor Unix/Linux tool displays missing file names using perror(3),
why not xm?
