Hrm...looks like I can make it work by creating the directory /var/lib/xen/xen-db/migrate - any reason that isn't created by the rpm?
The RPM doesn't have that directory because it's not created by the "make install" command that the spec file runs. *sigh* Guess I'll send some fixes upstream, as well as fixing it in the FC4 RPM...
A fix for this issue was added to today's Xen RPM, 2-20050530
Verified xen-2-20050530 corrects this issue.
