Thanks for your response. I did check the file was there as google 
suggested I check this.

root@xen6:/etc/xen# /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386
VNC server running on `127.0.0.1:5900'

which I then had to interrupt with ctrl-c to get back to a prompt. I 
have no idea if it is meaningful or not but I strung together the debug 
output to create a long qemu command and I tried running it....

root@xen6:/etc/xen# /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 -xen-domid 20

qemu: hardware error: map shared IO page returned error 22

Aborted (core dumped)
root@xen6:/etc/xen#

Also, in 'var/log/xen/qemu-dm-win.log' it says:-

qemu-system-i386: Property 'isa-fdc.driveA' can't find value ''

Which might be my overall issue.
