Hi all,

That pretty much explains it ^^^. Remote connections to session
(non-privileged) instances of libvirtd are not supported.
I have setup public key authentication between the remote machine and
the VBox host.
Any idea what am I doing wrong?
You'll either need to use system libvirtd, or do management locally
(that is, the libvirt client->server connection must be local; what goes
on on top of that is up to you).
