Please check /u/s/doc/libvirt-bin/README.Debian and http://wiki.debian.org/libvirt/Debugging on howto hopefully track this down. That said I'm not sure in what shape Wheezy's libvirt+xen support is since I'm not testing (yet) auto testing this combination at all (there are other xen related open bugs waiting for test and feedback). Please have a look at the version in experimental since this one is much more up to date.
