It all depends on your config:

You are working with init scripts from Debian Squeeze and it expects all 
CONIFIG_XEN_* values to be =y (static), except these

$ grep -i xen ./Desktop/config-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 | grep =m
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_NETXEN_NIC=m
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_DEV_EVTCHN=m
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP=m
CONFIG_XENFS=m
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN=m

Compare your config values with these and you might find a difference. Always 
remember that that /proc/xen must be mounted in fstab in Squeeze.

BTW, did you consider building Xen from source and using the kernel 
2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 included in Squeeze?
