Glad to be of help. My server was still running the rawhide from
fedora core 8, being the latest dom0 fedora for a long time. I just
thought it was about time to update it :)  Fedora 19 was almost there
so I just gave it a try on a test machine. Running the old domU cliens
on the new xen server went fine and as I planned to also update the domU
clients, I first tried installing a fresh fedora 19 client. And we know what
happened then...
It was a bit difficult to debug the code as I'm not that fluent in python and
somehow the error message was vague as it does not indicate the real code
location where the problem occured.

Thanks,

-Marcel
