Hmm... that all seems ok then. Can you check your permissions on :

/proc/xen/privcmd


Other possibilites:
  - do you have xsm enabled?

  - can you put a printk in xen file common/domctl.c:

    case XEN_DOMCTL_pausedomain:
        ret = -EINVAL;
+       printk(">>>>>>>>> Pause domain:%d current:%d\n", d->domain_id, 
+              current->domain->domain_id);
        if ( d != current->domain )
            ret = domain_pause_by_systemcontroller(d);
        break;

if you don't see this printk then the problem is in dom0 linux, prob
some permissions either on the privcmd file or somewhere in FS path.

Nop, at this point you are just not able to establish connection with
xen. gdb is not involved.
