What to do now? I dont want to get dvd passed directly to dom0 (for
obvious reasons)

Does the docking station use SATA for the DVD drive? Unless something has
changed, Xen won't let you passthrough those. You would need to get a USB
DVD drive and then use the qvm-usb commands to attach it to a VM.
Or an ExpressCard eSATA controller (much faster/better), or an 
ExpressCard PCI-e expansion system such as the ones from amfletec or 
bplus with a controller card (you can put an amfeltec expander inside a 
regular ATX PC case and then install whichever cards you want, pricey 
but very cool)
