Juan,

If you look at the stack trace:

32cb3ae0-20d7-4f6d-bdff-c040976e4a80] Injecting key into image
c8704b4a-5e04-4134-9d75-cf2289c94bb0


The next thing that runs:

2013-05-16 18:27:35.512 INFO nova.virt.disk.mount.nbd
[req-729ca77e-3963-4af9-a06d-f5b7f10221c7 522c7d49af3141948d6d7ba89e3601f4

such file or directory\n"

Go ahead and try what Rafi is advising, it _should_ fix your problem as it
effectively disables file injections.
