Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2012-10-16 09:35:22 UTC 
Libvirt will attempt to run whatever binary path is specified in your XML, and if none is specified it will attempt to run the binary it found in $PATH or /usr/libexec (as per virsh capabilities).

What does your foo.xml contain ?
Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2012-10-27 17:15:50 UTC 
I'm guessing this is just user error as implied from comment #1, presumably defining xml from a RHEL guest (which uses /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm). Closing as NOTABUG
