i would guess Port-Security is enabled on these Ports and your running
XEN in Bridged-Mode?

  # show port-security address

Port-Security records the MACs and only accepts packets from the first
device that communicates on this switch port, and shutting down that
switch port if another MAC address attempts to communicate via the
port. 

Disable PortSecurity on these Ports...

  # no switchport port-security


hth,

Thomas
