It works fine for me.
You can try testing it manually first (see
http://lxr.xensource.com/lxr/source/tools/blktap2/README, find
"tapdisk2 -n"). If it works, you should be able to mount the device
(shown after you run the command) on dom0.

If it doesn't work, you can try tap:aio, which should work for all Xen
versions (and still better than file:)
