I see that one of the
options in xen-tools is to create from a tarball, but I'm having
difficulty finding out what options should be used, directories to be

  Take any working Xen guest (domU) and tar it exluding only /proc,
 /sys, and /dev.  The latter directory is created when you install
 from the tarball - the former two are transient.)
