  It works for me under Debian.  I'd suggest the most probably cause
 is that you've not updated the Xen configuration file.

  To duplicate a Xen guest you need to:

    1.  Duplicate the disk image, and make appropriate networking
       changes (as you suggest).

    2.  Duplicate the /etc/xen/${name}.cfg file.

  I wonder if you didn't update the configuration file for the copy?
 Specifically you'll want to give it a new "name = " entry.
