Which version of libvirt?  Libvirt 1.0.5 included several improvements
to cgroup; perhaps some of those are relevant?  Libvirt is supposed to
find cgroup controllers, regardless of how you spell their mount point
(it inspects procfs to learn the cgroups of the current process, rather
than hard-coding any particular path).  Are you sure you had cpuacct
mounted?

That makes it sound like you haven't mounted quite enough cgroup
controllers.
