xen-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.i386.rpm contains /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm.

When I built the Xen 3.2 binary packages I did check that they
contained roughly the same things in the same places as the upstream
packages, but in general my (very light) testing did not include
starting an HVM guest.  So there may well be a bug here.

Can you confirm that qemu-dm is on your system ?  If not do you know
why not ?  If you have some more information (for example, actual
error messages which show where it is looking for which file) I might
be able to fix it up if indeed it's a bug in the package.

Ian.
