I have on question...when I go to grab blockStats...why do I have use XVDA vs. HDA? Just wondering if there was something I was missing. I have all of my Xen Domu's set up to use HDA is there some compelling reason to change over?

Well, strictly speaking what you should do is dump the XML of each domain (virDomainGetXMLDesc), parse it to find the list of disks, and use whatever is in the <target dev="..."> element. Pass "..." to virDomainBlockStats. You don't need to know the name of the device at all. Now, if that doesn't work (ie. either the target dev is wrong, or passing it to virDomainBlockStats gives an error) then it's a bug so please let us know if that's the case. Sorry this isn't very well documented, however virt-top does contain example code. Here might be a good place to start: http://hg.et.redhat.com/applications/virt/applications/virt-top--devel?f=d25...
