Long story short: It won't work directly, the Debian kernel is too old.

I have the same behaviour with a Ubuntu domU under a Debian Lenny
system, the kernel used is Debian's 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64. I provide a
strace file of mountall as called by mountall.conf – the final line just
keeps repeating. The whole strace file was over 100 MB but the last
lines were all the same.
Which process is consuming the CPU, is it mountall or mount? Please
strace the process and provide the output so we can see what it's doing
