Did you add enough bases onto your primer after the XhoI site as many enzymes require more DNA than just the restriction site to cleave efficiently, the back of the NEB catalogue has a good guide for this. I routinely use an extra six bases 5' to site which seems to work most of the time!

Xho I is a difficult enzyme to cut close to the end. Try a PCR cloning vector.
