Interesting.. I've never seen that before and honestly have no clue why
root would fail, but a less privileged account would succeed.

Also.. I should have mentioned, I found that certain libvirt stalls needed
an explicit `service libvirt-bin stop && service libvirt-bin start` to get
it going again rather than a `service libvirt-bin restart`.

Thanks,
Kiall
