As a futher follow up, if I use xen-create-image to create a new  
domU, this completes fine and then starts the image successfully! I  
can then go and start all the other images and all is fine.
Once I've halted them all and rebooted the server itself, it all  
stops working again.
Anyone got any pointers? This is getting quite frustrating.
