Do you have brcompat module in the kernel and the bridge compatibility
daemon running? That might be the reason why the Xen bridge scripts are not
working.
Run:
# insmod ${OVS_DIR}/datapath/linux/brcompat.ko
# ovs-brcompatd --detach
This might solve your problem and you should create your vms after that.
