[Openstack] Can't attach a RBD volume to an instance

Was this problem ever resolved?  I'm having the identical issue right now
(perhaps because I am following Sebastien's guide [0]).  I found this
question raised on LP [1], but no helpful responses, and no linked bug.  I
can confirm that I can attach an RBD instance manually through virsh, no
problem. So it is not a libvirt thing.  It sure appears to be a faulty disk
attachment definition from OpenStack.

I'm running the latest packages on Ubuntu 12.04 for OpensStack (essex) and
Ceph (argonaut).

I can confirm when using nova volume-attach it does not matter what device
you pick, dev/vdb, dev/vdf, whatever.  Always fails.  /dev/vdb manually
works great.
