What versions of virt-manager, libvirt and qemu-system-86 is this? Could you include ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log? Also, /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$guest.log from both the source and destination hosts? The error message is coming from the libvirt qemu driver, and it refers not to the qemu+ssh:// URI but the optional <migrateuri> which you're not passing to virsh It looks to me like virt-manager is passing the destination hostname (i.e. not a URI) as this parameter which is totally bogus
libvirt-0.6.2-14.fc11.x86_64 virt-manager-0.7.0-5.fc11.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-0.10.5-3.fc11.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.10.5-3.fc11.x86_64 libvirt.log contains the usual stuff + only the backtrace above, $guest.log is empty (except for the qemu-kvm... command) It's very reproducible, you may want to try it yourself.
We were invoking the migrate command incorrectly in virt-manager 0.7.0. We should just copy the migrate routine out of domain.py in current upstream and backport it to F11.
virt-manager-0.7.0-6.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/virt-manager-0.7.0-6.fc11?_csrf_token=8d215225cd9b1943cd947603a037c8db9ad28548
virt-manager-0.7.0-6.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
