the debian sarge version of udev is too old for xen... please use just hotplug 
instead (reinstall udev), or (as you already said) backport a newer udev 
version to sarge.
Take a look at /etc/hotplug/* and /etc/udev/* for xen scripts. If you 
installed xen from source (and not from packages.debianbase.de's xen3 
packages), then you will have only the udev OR hotplug scripts installed.
If you had for example just hotplug installed at compile time, then you only 
will have the hotplug scripts installed in /etc. if you upgrade later on to 
udev, then udev will not be used because of that... in such a case you need 
to reinstall xen3 then...
