When I was chasing down a similar problem back in August, I discovered
that Dom0 accesses XenStore through a unix domain socket and not through
the kernel interface, so hitting it through xenstore-ls always seemed to
work. That is why Dom0 reads/writes to XenStore ok with the same kernel
that fails for your DomU. When I moved XenStore to a stubdomain, I /did/
see the problem in Dom0 with new enough kernels, which is why the
XenStore access library was changed to prefer the dev device instead of
the proc file.
