Oh, you are running trousers in domain-0. I think you cannot do this since the vtpm manager will try to talk to /dev/tpm0 directly and trousers is blocking that device. vtpm_managerd would have to be changed to talk to the TPM indirectly through trousers.

Are you trying to do this in domain-0? The tpm_xenu does not work there.
You can use the domain-0 kernel in a user domain and if you copy the tpm_xenu module into the guest domain, then you should be able to do this.

       ------> OK.

After that you should be able to start the trouser in the guest domain.
