Here's my latest thoughts on how to do this:

an iSCSI LUN) that
both hosts will have access to, and using a
GFS2
formatted partition
on each node. Also, using Bind Mounts to
mount
/etc/libvirt/qemu onto
the GFS2 partition so that the vm xml
files
will be sync'ed up between
both hosts.
Does that make sense? Or would their be something
simpler to try?
Why do you need shared copies of the xml?I've got a
shared GFS2 file system for the VM image files, using rmganager to
manage the VMs and have the xml defined statically in the libvirtd
instances on the cluster members. If/when I change something in terms of
the VM definition on one cluster member, I "# virsh dumpxml > ./vm.xml"
and "# virsh define" it on the other members. Same UUID for the VMs on
all cluster members.
