The mentioned patch is part of libvirt 0.9.3, but it has a problem. It
altered the call to xenapiSessionErrorHandler in xenapiOpen in a way
that breaks error reporting. libxenserver returns a list of strings
that represents the complete error message. xenapiSessionErrorHandler
with last parameter set to NULL, composes all parts of the error
message into a single string. But the mentioned patch only takes the
first part, in your case "TRANSPORT_FAULT". The second part of that
error message is an numeric error code that might help to understand
the problem.
I just posed a patch to be applied on top of current git to fix this
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-July/msg01496.html
I attached a version of this patch that should apply to libvirt 0.9.3.
I'd be glad if you could test it, as I don't have a XenAPI setup at
hand. With that patch applied to libvirt 0.9.3 (or libvirt 0.9.2 + the
patch you mentioned before) you should get 'TRANSPORT_FAULT :
<error_code>' as error message and the number could help to figure out
what the actual problem is.

You can just do the normal ./configure, make and make install dance as
libvirt is autotools based.

Subject: [PATCH] xenapi: Improve error reporting in xenapiOpen once again
privP->session->error_description is a list and in order to get the
complete error message all parts of the list should be concatenated.
xenapiSessionErrorHandler does this when its third parameter is NULL.
The current code discards all but the first part of the error message
resulting in a potentially incomplete error message.
This partly reverts 006be75ee214f9b4, that tried to avoid reporting
a (null) in the error message. The actual problem is more general in
returnErrorFromSession that might return NULL if there is no error.
Make sure that returnErrorFromSession return non-NULL always. Also
don't skip the last error message part.
