.xva is a format specifically for Citrix Xen.
There are tools to convert "classic" Xen VMs to "xva" files:
http://www.xen.org/files/xva/README
I would be willing to assist in getting this tool to work with your program.
All I'd need is a copy of your program along with assistance from Pandu Poluan
to test the resulting XVA files.
I do not run Citrix XenServer and have no need for it as Xen itself works fine
for me.
