Bug 1020219

Description of problem:

In the below link : From the section Target Elements it is mentioned that 

http://libvirt.org/formatstorage.html

path
    Provides the location at which the volume can be accessed on the local filesystem, as an absolute path. This is a readonly attribute, so shouldn't be specified when creating a volume.

If we specify the path and other parameters it still works properly instead of throwing error.
