Any default installation of libvirt will run a VM started from a 'root' user as user 'qemu' for security reasons. You'd have to actively change that to run the qemu process as 'root' user. You didn't post any VM xml or libvirt config, so I've assumed the default. Did you explicitly set the user for the VM to run as in the VM xml? Or did you modify /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf?
