Does Glance save the image to the local file system?  I'd suspect 
SELinux, since it sounds like you were trying this on CentOS: SELinux is 
very restrictive in what it lets Apache write.  Again, I'd recopmmend 
running with SELinux in Permissive mode on this host and look at the 
avc's generated:  Run audit2why.
