Which version?
v4.1.4 r74291 (the current version when I downloaded it 2 days ago)
vbox:///session is the correct URI.
OK, that's good to know.
I don't have an OSX at hand for testing, but you can try
LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS=1:vbox virsh -c vbox:///session
and post the output here. This might give a hint about what's wrong.

Looks like libvirt doesn't grok this version of VirtualBox. The version of
libvirt which Homebrew built was:
homepage 'http://www.libvirt.org'
url 'ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.6.tar.gz'
sha256 'ce29b1cd3067b224aa834fec2a93d7613c0e72bc035760ad536a2142430bc02b'
This seems to be latest stable version - should I try 0.9.7rc2?
