I am having an issue with libvirt in my Nimbus cloud setup. When I use the Nimbus VM creation test scripts on a VMM node (using libvirt), the VM is created without a problem. However, when I attempt to create a new VM using Nimbus (which then tries to create the VM on the VMM node), I encounter the following error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know if this is relevant, but I also noticed this warning when creating the VM through the test scripts mentioned above:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I assumed this was a permissions issue, but I double checked and everything seems in order. I did not have this issue on my previous Nimbus cloud setup.
