take a look at Openafs ... it's also
pretty good for that and easy to setup .

This was a theory I had; I tried exporting the filesystem r/w from 
xm-manager and r/o from the other vms, but until I changed it to r/w 
across the board from all machines, the vms refused to boot at all - 
fsck would hang the bootup complaining of filesystem inconsistencies.

I'd not considered a clustered filesystem - thank you for the suggestion.
