This tutorial does not mentions peth0 or network-bridge script. Maybe 
you are mixing instructions from different tutorials, that applies 
different and incompatible approaches?

This a confusing matter. Maybe this reference might clarify something:

The general recommendation is to stop using network-bridge script, and 
create the necessary bridge(s) using your OS native tools, just as your 
tutorial suggests. In case of Debian or Ubuntu, describe the bridge in 
/etc/network/interfaces file. Then the old naming ("eth0" for the bridge 
and "peth0" for the physical interface) looses the sense. Keeping the 
native descriptive names ("xenbr0" for the bridge and "eth0" for the 
physical interface) helps to reduce confusion.
In case you still wish, for some reason, to manage your networking 
configuration via Xen's tools, it seems like 
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge script needs to be debugged. Make sure 
nobody else is messing with the networking configuration (like 
interfaces file) and try to call network-bridge manually. Check the 
file's content, it's heavily commented about the usage and syntax.
Greetings.
