Have you gotten to the point that you have multiple bridges configured?

`ip addr`, or `ifconfig`, should show you three bridges -- without them,
you're not going to be able to create the three interfaces.

I run on opensuse, not Fedora, but I think it's a fair bet that virbr0 and
xenbr0 are two names for the same thing.  Taking a look at the
network-bridge script in /etc/xen/scripts/ will tell you, I think.
