if I understand correctly then I shouldn't have installed libvirt-daemon on the guests VMs?

If virt-manager is connecting to the host OS, there's no reason to install
libvirtd in any guests VM.

The error message is telling you that the 'default' storage pool already
exists - "virsh pool-list" should show it.

THe existance of this error message in the logs is not in itself a problem.
It may just show that virt-manager is blindly trying to create the pool
even when it already exists.
