Yes, absolutely.  You need to copy tools/examples/xen-backend.rules to
/etc/udev, and then symlink /etc/udev/rules.d/xen-backend.rules to that
file.

I had exactly the same error message as you're getting, and doing that fixed
me right up.

On the relevant machine, I've got:

$ ls -l /etc/udev/*xen*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 682 2005-12-28 13:59 /etc/udev/xen-backend.rules

$ ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/*xen*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 20 2005-12-28 14:01 /etc/udev/rules.d/xen-backend.rules 
-> ../xen-backend.rules
