Well, it is putting an extra slash in front of the server address.. I remember this being a pain when trying to set a mirror to install up.
Try the following:
Web site name: ftp.funet.fi CentOS directory: pub/mirrors/centos.org/5.3/os/i386/
Make sure you DO NOT add a slash infront of "pub" in the CentOS directory line.
This tends to work for me, how are you kicking off the xen guest install? Grabbed the xen kernel and ramdisk from a mirror?
two // doesn't matter in the least.
I can easily retrieve this url...
wget \ http://ftp.funet.fi//pub/mirrors/centos.org/5.3/os/i386/images/stage2.img
If you look at the URL's generated by yum repos, they often have 2 slashes.

Alright, just relaying my findings when I was having problems here. I ended up having to mount the CD images on a blank ext3 partition and putting that in the domU config file.
Thanks for clearing up the two slashes, I have noticed them working before but didn't know if the CentOS installer was getting confused with them or not.
Could this be a network issue?
OP: Is your domU config'd for networking properly?
