Don't think the xend-log is useful here... The error message indicates
that your config file is "brokened".

I'm not sure if 3.1 accepts the "cdrom=" statement. Better to use the
new model of adding something like this on the "disk=" line:
"file:some-filename-with-path,hdc:cdrom,r"

You should also have a line for the device model:
device_model='/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm"

No guarantees, other subtle errors have been known to cause problems...
