I haven't used tap:aio, and I also use ' not " but looks fine I guess?
Using SELinux I presume:)

It goes through and I just pick the default layout, which sets it up
with an LVM. (this is where I think I may be wrong in doing so?)

Ahh, so it's the guest vm that gives the error?

After the point of setting up my disk space it goes on to format the
filesystem, and fails almost immediately with a somewhat large dump
ending with that origanl message.

It obviously sees the disc but pukes on writing to it?

Correct

So you have exported it *into* your guest correctly, but it has issues writing which leads me to maybe an SELinux issue? Go into /var/lib/xen/ images and do an ll -Z.

I get this for all my images...
-rwxrwxr-x root root system_u:object_r:xen_image_t vm-01-dns-2.img

Look at your image file, does it have the right context?
