well, they also show as blocked while waiting for IO or idling, maybe retry 
with a higher load on your domUs?

Just to show it works:
# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0     8672     8 r----- 1313001.2
cmcom01                           11     1024     7 -b---- 61838.4
cmcom02                           16     1024     4 r----- 11884.8
