I think this may be fixed by the dbus patch that Dan took care of for bug 436276. Can you see if this is still an issue with virt-manager-0.5.3-3.el5 or later?
Not seeing this error with: virt-manager-0.5.3-4.el5
I'll just close this as a DUP then. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 436276 ***
