No idea where/how the arch packaging > works, sorry. But the case that Stephan has where libvirtd does create the directories on startup is broken. I've ran into this problem myself, but forgot about it until now, when running libvirtd from the source tree with prefix /usr/local. It seems that when creating the directories in the driver initialization, at least the QEMU driver does not set the umask accordingly before, manginling the resulting permissions in the process.
