Verified with libguestfs-1.22.6-16.el7.x86_64.

# man guestfish


REMOTE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK WITH -a ETC. OPTIONS
       Options such as -a, --add, -N, --new etc don't interact properly with remote support.  They are
       processed locally, and not sent through to the remote guestfish.  In particular this won't do
       what you expect:

        guestfish --remote --add disk.img

       Don't use these options.  Use the equivalent commands instead, eg:

        guestfish --remote add-drive disk.img

       or:

        guestfish --remote
        ><fs> add disk.img
