Do you just run this command?
virsh domxml-to-native xen-xm new_vm1.xml > /etc/xen/new_vm1
If you don't specify an explicit connection URI, or have
VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI set to to some Xen connection URI, then
libvirt will try to autodetect your hypervisor and might find QEMU. In
that case I can reproduce the reported error.
To make it work you need to specify a proper connection URI, for example
virsh -c xen:/// domxml-to-native xen-xm new_vm1.xml > /etc/xen/new_vm1
or whatever URI you need for your setup.

I am still unable to get a native output file. Could someone please post the output of
"virsh -c xen:/// domxml-to-native xen-xm new_vm1.xml > /etc/xen/new_vm1"
