I didn't notice this launchpad question before, but I'll copy my answer
below for the mailing list archives:

Right now the RBD driver in OpenStack requires you to have your monitor 
addresses in /etc/ceph/ceph.conf. When you have them there, putting them 
in the libvirt xml is unnecessary. You do have to make sure that the 
unix user who ends up running qemu/kvm has read access to 
/etc/ceph/ceph.conf, and e.g. apparmor isn't preventing qemu/kvm from 
reading it.

This dependency on /etc/ceph/ceph.conf should be removed in the future.

If the answer above doesn't help, what error message do you get?
Is there any info in the libvirt logs for the instance?
