Nope no incoming log.
Did some more testing and here is what I found.
First some details  - scutter is the oldest machine, builder is next
and then sdj is the newest.
I tested starting the DomU on each machine and seeing where I can
migrate to.  I can migrate from scutter to either of the other
machines but that is the only source to destinations that works.
With this, I am thinking it's the CPU flags.  During all these tests,
the *-incoming*.log file wasn't created until the end of the migration
so no info there on why they are locking up.
I guess I am lucky these machines don't have to be up 24/7 so I can do
after hours migrations.
Where it's not essential I have live migration I am going to have to
put research on masking the flags on hold for now.

Ian, you mentioned that the flags aren't as big of a problem with XCP.
 Could you provide a quick and dirty explanation on why?

Thank you Ian for all your help.
