That seems to be the problem. If I add some logging, I see:

[2005-06-17 12:06:07 xend] INFO (channel:32) created event channel: 
<EventChannel dom1:0:19 dom2:5:2>
[2005-06-17 12:06:07 xend] INFO (channel:32) created event channel: 
<EventChannel dom1:0:20 dom2:5:3>

The first one is created here:

File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomain.py", line 276, in domain_create
     dominfo = XendDomainInfo.create(self.dbmap, config)
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 159, in create
     vm.construct(config)
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 501, in construct
     self.construct_image()
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 547, in 
construct_image
     self.create_channel()
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 680, in 
create_channel
     self.store_channel = self.eventChannel("store_channel")
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 674, in 
eventChannel
     return EventChannel.restoreFromDB(db, 0, self.id)
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/server/channel.py", line 59, in 
restoreFromDB
     evtchn = cls.interdomain(dom1, dom2, port1=port1, port2=port2)

The second is created here:

File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomain.py", line 276, in domain_create
     dominfo = XendDomainInfo.create(self.dbmap, config)
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 159, in create
     vm.construct(config)
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 502, in construct
     self.configure()
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 884, in configure
     self.create_devices()
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py", line 704, in 
create_devices
     self.image.createDeviceModel()
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/image.py", line 300, in createDeviceModel
     self.device_channel = channel.eventChannel(0, self.vm.getDomain())
   File "/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/server/channel.py", line 116, in 
eventChannel
     return EventChannel.interdomain(dom1, dom2, port1=port1, port2=port2)

Things get more interesting, because self.device_channel['port1'] for 
the second channel returns 19 instead of 20.

Are there assumptions in the code that there must be only one 
interdomain event channel between two domains?
