My SLES10 install also does not have a block-tap script.  I traced this down, though, and this is a standard line in the block script (I think) that just looks for any custom script for a particular device type.  If uses a variable that has the device type and looks for block-$DEVICE just in case there are customer scripts.  Don't think this is the issue.
 
Not sure about what script is generating that output, but I'll try to track it down.
 
I have another issue, now, after upgrading to SLES10 SP2 GMC (Beta, just before release) and that's that my Windows HVM domUs hang at boot time, now.  That, and they've changed the OCFS2 version from 1.2.8 to 1.4.0, which means that I have to upgrade ALL Of my servers to get them to see my SAN volume.  -Sigh- how annoying...

This part of the output is curious:

+++ xenstore-read backend/vbd/0/51952/mode

The marked line tests if block-tap is executable, and then suddenly jumps to
another script, which is doing a remove.

1) Is block-tap indeed marked as executable? My SuSE 10.3 system doesn't even
have a block-tap, so I'm not sure what package that comes from. What is the
output of 'rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/xen/scripts/block-tap'? If you don't
have it either, try 'yum install /etc/xen/scripts/block-tap'.

2) Can you verify what script the rest of the output after the flagged line is
coming from?
