Description of problem:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vdsm-4.9-79.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL Hypervisor.
2. Create a new server VM
3. Start said VM.
  
Actual results:
VM rhel6tmpl is down. Exit message internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: 15:53:39.111: 30730: info : libvirt version: 0.8.7, package: 18.el6 (Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla>, 2011-04-18-10:28:30, x86-008.build.bos.redhat.com)
15:53:39.111: 30730: error : __virExec:676 : cannot execute binary /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm: Permission denied
libvir: error : cannot execute binary /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm: Permission denied
.

Expected results:
VM rhel6tmpl was started by rhevm (Host: rhev-a16c-03.mpc.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com).
VM rhel6tmpl started on Host rhev-a16c-03.mpc.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com

Additional info:
Upon going from Enforcing to Permissive, the VM starts without problems.
