I'm trying to use the libvirt Python API to manage VirtualBox VMs on Mac OS X 10.8.3. I'm running libvirt 1.0.6 via Homebrew. However, the following trivial Python script:
import libvirt
conn = libvirt.open('vbox:///session')
gives me the following error:
libvirt: error : Failed to find user record for uid '32722': Success
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ch3vm.py", line 3, in <module>

if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Failed to find user record for uid '32722': Success
I have no idea where that uid 32722 is coming from -- it's not the uid of my user account, any of my VirtualBox files, or anything else that I'm aware of.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

You'll get the same error with all drivers connecting to 'session' on Mac OS X for some reason. I haven't had a chance to track it down. You'll see the uid change between reboots or over some X amount of time as well.
