  That's an odd one.  To catch this I added "sleep 5" to the end
 of most commands, so any error message should be visible.

  I can't think of anywhere to check.  Can you tell us the name of
 your user?  If you change their login shell to /bin/sh, and then
 login what happens if you run:

    xen-shell
    xen-login-shell

 (The latter of which is what you should have setup in /etc/passwd
 for that user.)
