The problem is not in the Java bindings, the problem is in libvirt.

>From your log messages I can see that you use a read-only connection.
The PHYP storage driver fails to open for a read-only connection. This
results in a connection with no storage driver, resulting in the
virConnectNumOfStoragePools-not-supported message you see.

I posted a patch [1] that fixes this problem. As a temporary
workaround you could use a normal (non-read-only) connection, as the
problem only occurs for a read-only connection.
