No, that shouldn't be it. "xm block attach" should work for all domUs,
whether it's created with "xm new" or "xm create". Something else is
causing the error.
What I meant was with "xm new", using "xm block attach" (or the
equivalent virsh command) was pretty much the only way to add new
block device. With "xm create", you could either use that, or edit the
config file manually.

I don't think so. Sure, xenstore stores info about all domU, but not
the config file. Try looking at /var/lib/xend/domains (which, AFAIK,
is not part of xenstore).
