XAPI updates the pool.conf file before it actually refreshes its database
from the new pool, so we need to wait for that to happen.  Hard-coded
delays aren't a good idea, but in the long term XAPI will probably be
adding a hook script for us to use, so this may be an OK stopgap measure.

Bug #2756.
