Is this a domain that happens to only have a ramdisk?
If you create a domain with access to a disk and use xm in xen-api mode then does this still happen?  To do this you have to activate the 'server' node in /etc/xen/xm-config.xml and add (xen-api-server (( 0.0.0.0:9363 none ))) to /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp.

Not sure about this, though I'd say that the network should have a list of PIFs with at least one PIF in it, which represents 'peth0'.

Have a look at the xen-api documentation and on the xen-api mailing list where people have previously posted their examples, even though it might have a flaw somewhere. Even though this one here might be for PHP, it shows what parameters need to be passed.

Maybe this here is also helpful:
