Sorry about the documentation; It leaves out an important step. You have 
to run "setsize" to allocate the trace buffer memory. The argument is in 
number of pages, ie, "setsize 20". Then you can run tbctl. This is one 
of the things I am fixing in the next release of xenmon- it will do this 
automatically.
