oh, yes, thanks for the correction, I've messed this up with another version of code.

'message' was initialized to NULL here so this code won't ever be
executed.

Neither this code since it will still be NULL.

Also please don't store the error message in a random variable, but
rather use a specific virReportError call. If you want to omit it in
certain cases, just skip the whole virReportError call.
