Description of problem:
Tried to create a new local storage domain while the path I gave wasn't set with the right vdsm:kvm owner. I got the following error message:

Operation Canceled
Error while executing action Add Storage Connection: General Exception

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-3.6.0-1
vdsm-4.17.0-632.git19a83a2.el7.x86_64
ovirt-engine-3.6.0-0.0.master.20150412172306.git55ba764.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a local DC
2. Create a local storage domain, give a path which its owner id is not vdsm:kvm
3.

Actual results:

Engine blocks the operation on CDA, but with a 'General Exception' message instead of an informative one:

2015-05-05 12:07:42,719 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.AddStorageServerConnectionCommand] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-1) [4e7db0b1] Command 'org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.AddStorageServerConnectionCommand' 
failed: VdcBLLException: GeneralException (Failed with error GeneralException and code 100)

Expected results:
Engine should know how to handle with this issue

Additional info:
logs from host and engine

Just to clarify - we can't chmod/chown a directory.
The only thing to do here is to have engine report a more coherent error.

Of course. I meant that engine should know how to handle with such failure from vdsm like it does when creating a non local domain with a wrong owner path.
