There is a complete libvirtd log file in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864427 We believe this is probably a bug in libguestfs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libguestfs 1.19.49 SELinux enforcing (possibly also happens with permissive) How reproducible: Rare. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unknown, hard to reproduce.
I believe this really is some sort of permission problem with SELinux. It's easy to reproduce on a newly installed F18 machine.
Everything working for me in the current version of Fedora 18.
