There seems to be other (bug #804083) SELinux related problem with 'firewall-cmd --set-default-zone'. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from execute access on the file /usr/bin/bash.

I still see this with selinux-policy-3.10.0-116.fc17 and still have no idea what could cause it.
We should just allow it. Probably something to do with executing python with in a bash environment. Fixed in selinux-policy-3.10.0-117.fc17
