I have a converted VMWare virtual machine which I converted by using:
$ vmware2libvirt -f ./WinXPPro.vmx > WinXPPro.xml
$ virsh -c qemu:///system define WinXPPro.xml
You're using 'qemu:///system' here which is a privileged instance
of libvirt, where the QEMU process runs as a dedicated user ID.
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='vmdk'/>
<source file='/home/roland/WinXPPro/WinXPPro.vmdk'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0'
target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
Here you're putting the disk in /home/roland, and I'm guessing
that /home/roload is mode -rwx-------, which will prevent the
QEMU user ID from accessing the disk.
When using qemu:///system, it is recommended to use
/var/lib/libvirt/images as the disk storage location.
If you really want to use /home/roland, then make sure
it has go+x permission bit set.
