Ensure that /bin/sh leads to /bin/bash (i.e. readlink /bin/sh ).. if
not, ln -s -f /bin/bash /bin/sh

Its quite possible on your system /bin/sh leads to dash, which isn't
capable of parsing the hotplug scripts in /etc/xen/scripts, which is the
cause of this error.

Output of /var/log/xen-hotplug.log would also be helpful :)
