Description of problem:
virsh pool-define-as creates xml that libvirt doesn't like. From the libvirt.org site, the following input xml works fine:

<pool type="iscsi">
  <name>virtimages</name>
  <source>
    <host name="iscsi.example.com"/>
    <device path="demo-target"/>
  </source>
  <target>
    <path>/dev/disk/by-path</path>
  </target>
</pool>

Looking at the cmdPoolDefineAs() function in virsh.c, the generated xml looks more like this:

<pool type="iscsi">
  <name>virtimages</name>
  <source>
    <host>iscsi.example.com</host>
    <device>demo-target</device>
  </source>
  <target>
    <path>/dev/disk/by-path</path>
  </target>
</pool>

When one tries to feed this xml into virsh pool-define (or tries to use virsh pool-define-as w/the appropriate flags, one gets:

libvir: Storage error : XML description for missing storage pool source host name is not well formed or invalid

So either cmdPoolDefineAs needs to be modified to spit out something that looks more like the example, or both forms need to be parseable.
