Well, I would build a new system with no LVMs at all, just set everything as / and ext3.
This way you can rescue img files all day long without potential VolGroup00 clashes.
I build all my Xen dom0 and domUs w/o LVMs.
Why?
Cuz I found a bug (I guess, or its just lame) that wen your snapshot volume of your / goes away, and you reboot the system, you can't.
This dependancy on snapshots turned me off and I couldn't find a quick way to recover in case of some DR or BCP need.

Thanks a lot for that, I will give it a go. I am trying to get another machine with CentOS 5.3 so I can use that to perform the rescue operations.
Did you see my post on the virtualisation list?
If so do you have any thoughts on that post?

Ok, this is what I did in the exact same situation (solution below gotten from the xen list).
I use it religiously.
Lucky I'm on both forums.
