That does not work:

xm scsi-attach 1 /dev/st0 host = ok

But if I use the syntax you described:         vscsi=['/dev/st0, host]

# xm create 2008_32_snap.cfg
Using config file "./2008_32_snap.cfg".
Error: Errors were found at line 32 while processing ./2008_32_snap.cfg:
        vscsi=['/dev/st0, host]

Or did I misunderstand the syntax?
