I'm seeing this now as well. It may be a new regression. Next time a changeset is hit where this config works without any issues let me know - I'm not having much luck.

-bash-3.00# xm create -f builddomain.cfg -c
Using config file "builddomain.cfg".
Error: Error creating domain: int argument required

# unremarkable config that worked yesterday
-bash-3.00# cat builddomain.cfg
kernel = "vmlinuz"
memory = 512
name = "test"
vcpus = 4
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:00:00, bridge=xen-br0' ]
#disk = [ 'file:newfs.00.vbd,hda,w' ]
disk = [ 'phy:loop2,hda1,w' ]
dhcp="dhcp"
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"

# the device is setup
-bash-3.00# losetup  /dev/loop2
/dev/loop2: [000c]:4383807 (newfs.01.vbd), offset 16384

# the device node name is readily available
-bash-3.00# ls -l /dev/hda1

Do you have anything useful in /var/log/xend-debug.log?  Type errors like this
usually appear there.
