dom0 can/will certainly cache the contents of the disk you're sharing to
the domU: I had another case where "grub wasn't getting installed inside
domU" when it certainly was; less -f /dev/disk from dom0 didn't show the
grub sectors on the disk when they were definitely there, a domU
shutdown "cleared the cache."  So again, my experience has been that
shutting it down completely fixed the problem, but perhaps it doesn't
for you.
