How difficult would it be to set up named pipes for save and restore operations, and splice from those pipes to the actual files on the libvirtd side? Seems much preferable from a security perspective to chown'ing things around, and (unlike pipes set up ahead of time with pipe() and friends) shouldn't be disrupted by a libvirtd restart.
